Point Set Generating Temporal Model Tiles

Instructions for use

The Point Set Generating Temporal Model Tiles function can be used to generate S3MTile Data from Point Dataset storing time series information. It can realize the multi-terminal application of dynamic effects such as river inundation. Each point in a Point Dataset typically stores the spatial coordinates (X/Y/Z) of the point and a number of attribute values that characterize multiple time instants, such as the water temperature at the same location at different times.

Function entrance

  • 3D Data tab-> 3D Tiles group-> Generate Tiles drop-down menu-> Point Set Generating Temporal Model Tiles

Operation steps

  1. In Workspace Manager, open the source data for generating Time Series Model Tiles through the Import Data function.
  2. On the 3D Data tab, in the 3D Tiles group, in the Generate Tiles drop-down menu, click the Point Set Generating Temporal Model Tiles button. The Generate Timeseries Model Cache "dialog box pops up.
  3. Set Point Dataset:
    • Data source: Select the Datasource where the Point Dataset containing time series information in Workspace is located through the drop-down menu.
    • Dataset: Select the Point Dataset with multi-time characteristics in the attribute table in the Datasource through the drop-down menu.
  4. Set Clip Dataset:
    • Datasource: Constrain the Datasource where the Region Dataset is located in Workspace through the drop-down menu Select.
    • Dataset: Select Constraint Region Dataset in Datasource via drop-down menu. The constraint surface is a range representing the effect of the dynamic timing effect, and its range needs to be coincident with the range of the Point Dataset, and its coordinate system should be consistent with the coordinate system of the Point Dataset.
  5. Set Parameters：
    • Process Thread Count: Set the number of threads running the Point Set Generating Temporal Model Tiles.
    • Tile Name: Set Any String as the name of the resulting S3MTile.
    • Storage Path: Set the Target Path where the result Tile is stored.
    • Time Series Field: Click Set to open the Set Element "panel. Set elements and dimensions according to data conditions, and select the corresponding Property Field (numerical type, such as double precision) that expresses multi-time characteristics.
  6. When the settings are complete, click OK to perform the Point Set Generating Temporal Model Tiles operation. As shown in the figure below, the result time series Model Tiles, the *.s3mb file records the Data Information of the Tile, and the *.bin file in the VertexAttributeExtension folder records the data time series characteristic information.
