Show and hide map layers
A layer is one kind of information drawn on the site map, such as scan positions or pins. Turning layers off makes the map easier to read.
Turn layers on and off
- On the site map, click Layers on the rail.
- Tick or clear each layer.
Changes apply at once. Some layers only do something on sites that have that information.
| Layer | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Control Points | Surveyed reference points on the ground. |
| Orthophoto | An aerial photo of the site, corrected so distances on it are true. |
| 3D Photo View | A photo-realistic 3D view of the site captured from photos. |
| Scan Positions | The places where a laser scanner stood. Click one to enter the scan. |
| Pins | Notes and issues placed on the site. |
| Assets | Equipment in the asset register. |
| Element Links | Documents linked to elements of the model. |
| As-Built Model | The 3D model of the facility as built. |
| Buried Facilities | Underground services. |
