Vector DatasetBuild 3D Tile

Instructions for use

The "Generate 3D" Tiles.. "In the DatasetContext Menu allows you to build a Vector DatasetBuild 3D Tile to optimize the browsing speed of Vector Data.

Function entrance

  • Workspace Manager->Vector DatasetContext Menu->Generate 3D Tiles... Button

Operation steps

  1. Select the Generate 3D Tiles.. "In the Vector (Point, Line, Surface) DatasetContext Menu in Workspace Manager.
  2. The Build 3D Tile dialog box pops up to add Vector Data and set parameters for the Vector Tile. The Dataset selected by default has been added to the list. If you need to add another Vector Dataset, you can use the toolbar to filter and search the required Dataset.
  3. Toolbar: provides buttons such as Add Dataset, Select All, Select Inversely, and Delete.
    • Add Dataset: Click to select Target Dataset in the pop-up selection dialog box. Click OK to return to the dialog box. You can see that the selected Dataset is displayed in the list.
      • Select
    • All: Select All in the data list to perform batch operations on the Dataset, such as deletion and Batch Settings Tile parameters.
    • Invert: Select the unselected Dataset in the data list.
    • Delete: Removes the Dataset from the Current Data list.
      Caution:
        During
      • Batch Settings Tile parameters, you need to click Enter after typing the specific parameter value to make it effective. Otherwise, it may not work to assign the same parameter value in batches.
  4. Data List Area:
    • Dataset: shows the Dataset Name for the Generate Vector Tile.
    • Datasource: shows the name of the Datasource where the Dataset for the Generate Vector Tile is located.
    • Tile Type: shows the type of 3D Tiles to be generated, in this case Vector. Tile Type: is a Drop-down Button. All Tile Types: supported by the selected data are listed in the drop-down list, and the user can select from them.
    • Scene Type: The type of the scene Tile is spherical.
  5. Basic Settings：
    • Tile Name: In the text box to the right of the Tile Name ", enter the tile name, which is the name of the root of the tile.
    • Tile Path: Storage path of Model tiles. A folder named by Tile Name is created under this path to store tile files. Tile Name can be modified.
  6. Tile Bounds: There are two ways to set in the "Tile Bounds" "area:
    • Click the Default range "radio button, and the range of the Dataset is used by default.
      • Users can Custom Bounds
    • without clicking the "Default range" radio button. There are two ways, one is to select the range of Specify Dataset as Tile Bounds through the "Select Range" button, and the other is to select the "Specify Range" button and directly enter the range value in the four text boxes at the top left and bottom right.
  7. Parameter Settings：：
    • Object ID field:: Customize the content of the Object ID Field. Select a certain field in the right-click drop-down menu to define it as a Object ID Field.
    • S3M version: Support four S3M version numbers: S3M1.0, S3M2.0, S3M3.0, S3M 3.01.
    • Property storage type: Support two property storage types, S3MD and ATTRIBUTE, to improve the download efficiency of property file. S3MD is stored as JSON, and ATTRIBUTE is stored as a binary stream.
    • Height Mode: Sets the height mode of the Vector Dataset type. Including ground, object, and Absolute. DetailsRefer to the About the height mode .
    • Bottom Altitude, Extended Height: The option is available only when the height mode is selected as Absolute. DetailsRefer to the Set Bottom Altitude and Extended Height .
    • Foreground color: used to set the foreground color of the face, that is, to set the color of the face itself. Select and set the Fill Color in the color panel that pops up by clicking the color button on the right.
    • Select Fields: Set the Select Fields in the original Dataset to be saved in the Tile result. Click the "Settings" button to pop up the "Select Fields" dialog box, from which the user can select the required fields; if Field Settings is not performed, the result will not save any field of the Dataset.
    • Cutting Tiles: can be used to reduce the amount of data per tile. If checked, cutting will be performed according to the set Tile side length, and the data will be stored in different tiles; otherwise, the data will be stored in the Tile where the data center is located. Checked by default.
    • Contour line: Used to set whether the Result Data displays the contour line of the face object. This option is available only when the height mode is ground.
  8. When the settings are complete, click the OK button to perform the Tile generation operation.
Caution:

If The vector line width needs to be modified during Generate Tiles, you can select the corresponding layer in Layer Manager, right click and select Layer Properties ". Then set the line width in the Effects tab of the Layer Properties panel. Open Workspace in the Tile results folder to load the line effect after browsing the set width. Please refer to 3D Line Layer Effect for detailed operation of Special Effect Settings line.
