Search Tool

Using the TerraExplorer search tool located at the top of the Project Tree, you can search for any of the following:

§  Items in your project tree, including locations, layers, groups and objects.

§  Addresses and points of interest on your SkylineGlobe Server.

§  Layers and projects on your SkylineGlobe Server, including feature, 3D Mesh Layer, raster, and point cloud.

§  TerraExplorer ribbon commands, e.g., Publish, Viewshed, or Animation. (The search results will include all commands with the search term and the related tooltip).

§  Feature attributes in a selected feature layer.

§  Specific coordinates.

For more efficient and effective searches, search filters can be used to narrow the scope of your search, using the syntax ‘Filter: search term.

To search:

1.     In the Project Tree, Search here field, type a search term.

2.     If you want to filter your search, use the syntax Filter: search term. See “Search Filters” in this chapter for information about available filters.

3.     If you want to search for feature attributes in a selected feature layer, do the following:

a.     In the Project Tree, right-click the feature layer and click "Search". The layer’s name is inserted in the search bar.

b.     Add your search term after the colon that follows the layer name, i.e. [World Data\OSM Roads\OSM Roads Level 3]: Search Term.

4.     When clicking on a search result, the operation that TE performs depends on the result type selected:

§  Commands: - Activates the command.

§  Project: - Selects the item on the project tree and flies to its location.

§  Addresses: - Flies to the address location.

§  SkylineGlobe: - Loads the layer.

§  [Feature Layer]: - Flies to the feature location.

To fly to a specific coordinate:

§  In the Project Tree, Search here field, type the coordinates using the following syntax:

§  Coord: Lon, Lat or X, Y - Fly to coordinate.

§  MGRS: MGRS coordinate - Fly to MGRS coordinate
