Information Query

The Information Query tool provides you with data about any point or object in the 3D World. For a point on the terrain, location and elevation information is provided, while for an object, the query also displays the object’s perimeter and area. If the object selected was loaded from a layer with attribute information, the object’s attributes are also displayed.

To use the information query tool:

1.     On the Analysis tab, in the Measurement group, click Query. 

2.     Move the cursor over any point in the 3D Window. When you move the cursor over an object, the object is highlighted.

3.     Click on the point or object for which you require information.

§  In the Message Bar, TerraExplorer Pro displays the longitude, latitude and altitude.

Note:    Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) coordinates are also displayed if Show MGRS Coordinates was selected in the Options dialog. See “View” in the “Using TerraExplorer Options” chapter for more information.

§  The Query Results dialog is displayed, showing the longitude, latitude, and elevation. When an object is selected, general information about the object and attribute information, if available, is displayed.

4.     With the Information Query tool selected, you can click again on any point in the terrain to find its coordinates. Repeat for as many points as you wish.

5.     On the Analysis tab, in the Measurement group, click Query again to close the Information Query.
