Usage Instructions

This function can be understood as a combination of two functions: extruding faces to generate models and generating models into S3M tile data. It supports stretching vector face data from the data source and generating it into model tile (S3M) files. Loading these tiles in a scene can significantly improve model browsing performance and display effects.

Function Entry

• 3D Data tab -> 3D Tiles group -> Generate Tiles drop-down button -> Extrude Faces to Generate Model Tiles button
• Toolbox -> 3D Data -> Model Processing -> Extrude Faces to Generate Model Tiles

Operation Steps

1. In the Workspace Manager, open the data source that needs to generate tiles.
2. On the 3D Data tab, in the 3D Tiles group, within the Generate Tiles drop-down button, click the Extrude Faces to Generate Model Tiles button to pop up the "Extrude Faces to Generate Model Tiles" dialog box for parameter settings.
3. As needed, perform source data settings, result data settings, basic parameter settings, texture and attribute advanced parameter settings, hierarchical parameter settings, and material parameter settings. For specific parameter settings, refer to the help document Extrude Faces to Generate Model Tiles in the Toolbox -> 3D Data -> Model Processing.
4. After setting the parameters, click the "Run" button to execute the tile generation operation. After the operation is completed, S3M tile data will be generated at the specified path.

Notes:

• The tile edge length determines the number of tile root nodes: the larger the edge length, the fewer root nodes; conversely, the smaller the edge length, the more root nodes, and the longer the tile generation time. When there are too many root nodes, loading the model will slow down to some extent.
• If the file processing type is append mode, setting layers and performing face simplification are not supported.
