Combine TIN Data

Instructions for use

Currently, 3D Scene only allows loading one TIN TerrainTile Data (*.sct). If you want to load multiple copies of TIN TerrainTile Data, you need to merge multiple copies of data into one TinTile.

The Merge TinTile function is able to merge two TinTile Data of different resolutions (block sizes), resulting in one TinTile file.

Operation steps

The Merge TIN terrain cache function generates a *.cfTile file and a *.sctConfig File under the Target Path. The merged TIN Terrain can be loaded in the mode of "Add Terrain Tiles" "in 3D Scene.

Precautions

  1. When two merged terrains overlap, the overlap is based on the first specified terrain, i.e., TINTile1.
  2. When Merge high and low accuracy terrain at a location, the high accuracy terrain should be above the low accuracy terrain.
