Inserting New Layers

You can insert new imagery and elevation layers in your project from:

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

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

§  Oracle Spatial Database

§  TerraGate Server (Legacy support)

§  ArcSDE Raster Server

§  Web Map Service

§  Web Map Tile Service

§  ECW Image Web Server

§  Google Earth Enterprise Server

Imagery layers contain geo-referenced, satellite or aerial images that overlay the terrain imagery whereas elevation layers contain geo-referenced elevation raster that replaces the elevation data of the terrain database.

All new layers must use the project's coordinate system. If a new layer is based on a source that uses a different coordinate system, TerraBuilder reprojects the layer, converting the layer's data to match the project's coordinate system. If a source does not include coordinate system information or TerraBuilder is unable to read this information, you must supply the coordinate system information so that TerraBuilder can reproject the layer.
