Scenes

Scene properties

• Earth: support whether to bring Earth
• Turn on Underground: Support whether to turn on underground or not to see the underground model. When you check Enable Underground a slider for surface transparency will appear. Surface transparency range is 0-1. 0 means the surface is opaque, 1 means the surface is completely transparent.
• Depth testing:
• Sun: support whether to turn on sun illumination or not. When you check Sun the sun track slider will appear, you can adjust the sun lighting effect at different time.
• Atmospheric rendering: open atmospheric rendering will have a skybox effect.
• Side Tools: Controls whether or not side tools are displayed. Turning on side tools makes the tool navigation bar appear on the right side of the scene.

Side tools

• Zoom in: click the zoom in button, the camera height will then become smaller, mainly to see the local details of the model.
• Zoom out: click the zoom out button, the camera height will then become larger, mainly to see the overall effect of the model.
• Compass: click the compass button, the orientation of the scene will automatically rotate to up north and down south.
• Full screen: the current operating space is displayed in full screen.
• Measurements: supports both spatial and ground measurements. Spatial measurements take into account the height values between measurement points, while ground measurements do not.
• Distance: the distance between measurement points.
• Height: the height between measurement points.
• Surface: the area formed by the measurement points.
• Delete: deletes the measured result value.

Edit

Click on the right navigation menu Edit brings up the Layer Edit panel on the right side of the screen, which allows you to perform excavation and flattening operations on the 3D tilt-shift photographic model and TIN terrain data.

Tilt operation

Select layer

• Click Basemap->Add Basemap->Custom Layer->s3m Layer and select the basemap data to be added to load into the project. The layer to be operated in the currently loaded tilt photography data will be automatically recognized and displayed in the Select Layer drop-down list in the tilt operation tab.

Operation type

• Operation type selected for the excavation, click OK, the mouse becomes a "brush" style in the viewport target location to draw the excavation range surface, drawing is completed after the viewport tilt operation layer will show the effect of excavation. Select the flattening operation, the mouse becomes "brush" style in the flattening position to draw the flattening range of surfaces, click OK, in the viewport layer will show the effect of flattening.

Clear

• Clicking clear will clear the results of the excavation or flattening operation in the viewport layer.

Terrain operation

Operation type

• Select excavation, click OK, the mouse will change to "brush" style and then draw the excavation range surface at the location where you want to excavate, the terrain layer will show the effect after excavation. Select Modify Operation, click OK, the mouse will change to "brush" style and then draw the flattening range surface at the location where you want to modify the terrain, and the effect of flattening will be shown on the terrain layer in the viewport.

Excavation depth

• Here you can set the width of the terrain excavation, which can be controlled by entering a number or clicking on "+" or "-".

Clear

• Click clear will clear the terrain excavation or modification results in the viewport.
