Inserting Layers from Server
You can load raster layers from the following servers:
|
Server |
Description |
|
SkylineGlobe Server (SGS) |
SkylineGlobe Server is a private cloud solution that supports the client-server data delivery requirements of Skyline's 3D technology. TerraBuilder can read imagery and elevation layers (Imagery, Elevation, RasterComplex) and TBP projects. For more information on loading layers from SGS, see “Loading SkylineGlobe Layers” in the “Working with SkylineGlobe Server” chapter. |
|
Web Map Server / Web Map Tile Service (WMS/WMTS) |
WMS/WMTS are standard protocols published by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) for serving georeferenced map images and pre-rendered georeferenced map tiles over the Internet. TerraBuilder supports WMS 1.1.1 and 1.3.0 and WMTS 1.0.0. |
|
Web Coverage Service (WCS) |
WCS is a standard protocol published by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) for serving geospatial information, in forms that can be used as input for analysis and modeling. TerraBuilder allows use of coverage in a WCS server as a raster dataset and supports version 1.0.0 |
|
TerraGate Server |
Skyline’s TerraGate Server efficiently streams TerraBuilder MPT files and TBP projects (Legacy support). |
|
Oracle Spatial Database |
Oracle Spatial (formerly called SDO, and before that MultiDimension), provides a way to store and retrieve multi-dimensional data in Oracle. It is primarily used for Geographical Information Systems to implement, geo-reference and solve queries such as how is something related to a specific location. Note: In order to load an Oracle Spatial layer you must have an Oracle Client installed on your computer. |
|
ECW Image Web Server |
ECW Image Web Server serves over the Internet large images (greater than a Terabyte in size) with fine alternating contrast while retaining their visual quality. |
|
ArcSDE Raster Server |
The Spatial Database Engine (SDE) is a client/server application that enables spatial data to be stored, managed and retrieved from database management systems like Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, IBM DB2 and Informix. Loading of layers from ArcSDE is only supported through ArcSDE 10.2 (Esri deprecated the application server connection method after this version). From ArcSDE 10.3 and above, layers can be loaded using the WMS/REST services. |
|
Google Earth Enterprise (GEE) Server |
Allows opening imagery from Google Earth Enterprise Server. GEE Server provides a way of hosting private versions of Google Earth and Google Maps. |
To insert a layer from a server:
1. On the Home tab, in the Layers group, click Insert Imagery or Insert Elevation. The Insert Imagery/Insert Elevation dialog box opens.
2. In the From Server section, from the Server type drop-down list, select the server type. A dialog box is displayed corresponding to the server selected.
3. Enter the information required for the selected server:
§ TerraGate Server (Legacy support)
§ Google Earth Enterprise Server
4. If the source includes coordinate system information that TerraBuilder can read, the source directly opens.
If the source does not include coordinate system information or TerraBuilder cannot read it, the Coordinate System dialog box is displayed. Enter the source's coordinate system information. See “Setting a Source’s Coordinate System” in this chapter for more information.
