Introduction

Click Thematic Mapping and select Default on Custom Map. Then you can crete a 3D custom map for a vector dataset using the default settings of the application system.

Basic Steps

1. Set the 3D vector dataset layer to be created a 3D custom thematic map (except the 3D text dataset layer) as the current layer.
2. On the Scenes tab, click the Thematic Mapping button on the Data group.
3. The Create Thematic Map dialog box pops up. Click Custom Map on the left, and select Default. After clicking OK, a default 3D custom thematic map will be created.
4. The created 3D custom thematic map is automatically added into the current scene as a thematic layer. Simultaneously the General Layers node of the Layer Manager window increases a subnode which is corresponding to the created thematic map.

Note

1. Only when the current layer is a 3D vector dataset layer (except the 3D text dataset layer), the Thematic Mapping button is available.
2. Click Default in the Custom Map group, then the Custom Map window opens. The window shows the settings of the current thematic map, and users can modify these settings. Hence, users can modify the default 3D custom thematic map so as to get a more ideal 3D map.
