load instance layer

Instructions for use

The Load Instance Layer function in the context menu of Layer Manager's Normal Layer can be used to add instantiated layers or instantiated data in the form of point-attached models to the scene. After addition, a new node will be added under the Normal Layer collection node.

Function Entry

  • Layer Manager->Normal Layer context menu->Add Instantiated Layer

Operation Steps

  1. After creating or opening a scene, click Layer Manager->Normal Layer context menu->Add Instantiated Layer.
  2. The "Load Instance Layer" dialog box will pop up. In the dialog box, add the instantiated layer via config file or parameters.
  3. Check the radio button in front of config file, and load the instance layer (*.instc) through the config file dialog box. The *.instc file is generated by the Toolbox->3D Geodesign->Input/Output->Save Model Collection tool.
  4. Check the radio button in front of parameters, and select instantiated data stored as points with attached models. Instantiated data stored as points with attached models can be generated by the Toolbox->3D Geodesign->Input/Output->Write Dataset tool.
    • Point with attached models refers to storing model data in the form of a 3D point dataset plus multiple model objects. Each point in the 3D point dataset records the attached model object at the current position, as well as spatial pose information such as position, scaling, and rotation of that model object.
    • Data Source: Select the data source where the point dataset is stored.
    • Dataset: Select the point dataset corresponding to the instantiated data.
    • Model File Path: Select the property field in the point dataset that records the path of the attached model.
    • Matrix: Select the matrix property field in the point dataset that records the spatial pose transformation information of the model object.
  5. After setting the parameters, click OK to load the instantiated layer into the scene. A layer node will be added under the Normal Layer node in Layer Manager. Click Cancel to cancel the operation.
