Add Layer

Add a new layer to the current project.  If the current project does not contain layers yet, this layer must be a terrain layer.  See supported Data Formats for more details.

Remove Layer(s)

Remove the currently selected one or multiple layers from the current project.  You will be prompted to confirm the operation.

Identify Tool

Use this tool to get the coordinates of a point of the terrain surface.  When the tool is active, a popup window with coordinates of the selected point will appear.  Left-click on the terrain to get coordinates of the point.  The popup window displays the coordinates of the last selected point, and does not change when navigating.  Navigation works just like default navigation, except for moving the observer by double click.  To move the observer to a desired location, use arrow keys or the mini-map.

Mouse Navigation

Toggles mouse-navigation mode.  See section Navigation for more details.

Walk Mode

Toggles walk mode.  See section Navigation for more details.

Journey Tool

Use Journey tool to define a route through the terrain surface, and have the observer move along that route. The observer can either walk at a defined offset, fly over the route at a defined height. The default flight height is the maximum terrain height plus 10%. You can import a route from a polyline shapefile, but only the first polyline in the Shapefile will be used.

Graphic Layer Tool

Use Graphic Layer tool to add and edit a graphic layer to your project. Graphic layers are special point layers, which allow users to dynamically display point markers on the terrain surface. When Graphic Layer tool is active, you can use the left mouse button to plant the selected symbol on the surface. Identical symbols are grouped together into groups. You can delete the last added symbol, a whole group of symbols, or the whole graphic layer. You can change the symbol of a group through the Layer Symbology dialog for the Graphic layer.

Graphic layers are saved within their project main file.

Zoom In

The function moves the observer closer to the scene, following the looking direction.

Zoom Out

The function moves the observer farther from the scene, following the looking direction.

Zoom To All

Reset the position of the observer to a point, from which all layers are visible in their full extent.
