3d scene oblique inbound - rebuild top level For oblique photogrammetry 3D data with poor top-level effects, you can reassign finer-level data as the new root node, then rebuild the top level to improve top-level visualization, reduce data volume, and enhance loading efficiency. ObliqueBuilder - Generate S3M Basic Edition Removed starting from 2025 [12.0.0.0] version 2025.06
oblique to s3m-lightweight Simplifies the geometric and texture objects of the data to reduce the data volume of the result data after tile generation and upload.
obliquebuilder - texture compression Uses different texture compression formats for data with different purposes to reduce the amount of video memory used by texture images.
Big Data Management merge root nodes Merges root nodes within a certain spatial range into one root node, generating a coarser LOD level through upsampling, reducing the number of model root nodes to approximately one-fourth of the original with each merge.
