Imagery and Elevation Layers

Raster layers can be added to your project from either of the following:

§  Files on your own computer or on your local network.

§  A database that is served over a network by one of these GIS servers:

§  Web Map Service

§  Web Map Tile Service

§  Oracle Spatial Database

§  ECW Image Web Server

§  TerraGate Server

§  SkylineGlobe Server (See the "Working with SkylineGlobe Server" chapter for information)

§  ArcSDE Raster Server

See the TerraExplorer User Guide for more information on loading raster layers.

To add an imagery/elevation source to a project:

1.     On the Tools tab, in the Objects and Layers group, click Imagery Layer/Elevation Layer. The Load Imagery/Elevation Layer dialog is displayed.

2.     Browse to the required file and select it, or select the server type and enter the required information.

3.     Click Open.

Note:        If the source file is geo-referenced, it is located accordingly on the terrain. Otherwise, it is placed at the center of the 3D Window. You can then manually edit its position, or reproject it.

4.     After the layer has been placed on the terrain, you can change its properties using the property sheet.
