Loading GIS data via SuperMap editor controls

This page describes loading GIS data through the SuperMap editor control in three ways: loading local data, loading online services, and loading public services.

Load local data

This product supports loading local 3D tile data and data sets through Local Layer of Add Layer module in SuperMap Editor Control, so as to load local terrain, image, oblique photography 3D model, point cloud, BIM, city fine model, white model, underground pipeline and 3D point line surface data in Unreal Engine.

Supported 3D tile data types include: 3D image tile data (*sci3d), 3D terrain tile data (*.sct), 3D model tile data (*.scp).

Data sets can be added via data sources in *.udbx/*.udb format. Supported data set types include 3D point data set, 3D line data set, 3D surface data set and model data set.

  1. In the SuperMap editor controls > Add Layer > Click Local Layer to pop up the Choose File dialog box.
  2. After selecting the data, click Open to display information about the layer path of the specified data in the panel.
  3. When UDBX data is added, the dataset name is displayed and the drop-down menu allows you to select the dataset to add.
  4. Turn on Terrain Texture Mask , indicating that the data is a texture mask for the terrain. This function is mainly used in the image data road night scene beautification.

  4. Layer Name: Enter the name of the layer where the data resides. When loading the S3M layer, terrain layer, and image layer, the layer name is set to the name of the first layer under the 3D scene.
  5. Click Add to load online data, and the layer management module will add relevant layer information. Click Clear to clear the added layer of related information.

Loading Common Services

This product supports adding public services such as SuperMap Terrain Service, BingMaps Service, STK Terrain Service, Sky Map Image, WMS, WMTS, etc. through the public services of the Add Layer module in the SuperMap Editor Control.

  1. Click SuperMap Editor Controls -> Add Layers -> Common Services , and the panel switches to the Load Common Services Settings page.
  2. According to the data type, select the corresponding service type and set the relevant parameters.
