Click the  icon in the toolbar to bring up the Add Data dialog box. iEarth WebApp provides the five ways to add data as follows:

Public Services

Select the "Public Services" tab lists the public scene resources published by SuperMap Online (https://www.supermapol.com), It includes fine model data (Beijing CBD, oil stations), tilt photography 3D model data (Sophia Church), terrain image data (Everest terrain image), BIM data (BIM buildings), point cloud data, MVT data (Beijing-Tianjin MVT), and white model data (Chongqing white model). Click on any scene thumbnail and the camera will fly to the location of the layer and display the 3D scene. At the same time, you can view the list of layers added to the scene through the  icon in the toolbar, control the visibility, or hover to the specified layer and click on the  icon that appears on the right side of the panel to remove the layer.

Customized Service

Select the Customize Service tab to load layers or scenes from the 3D scene services published by SuperMap iServer via URL addresses (for an introduction to data and layers in 3D scenes, see Data and Layers in 3D Scenes).

Load Layer

Select the layer type. The iEarth WebApp supports the following types of layer services:

  • S3M layers. Format such as: http://<server>:<port>/iserver/services/***/rest/realspace/datas/<S3MName>/config
  • Image Layer. Format e.g. http://<server>:<port>/iserver/services/***/rest/realspace/datas/<imageryName>
  • Terrain layer. Format e.g. http://<server>:<port>/iserver/services/***/rest/realspace/datas/<terrianName>
  • WMTS services. Format e.g. http://<server>:<port>/iserver/services/{dataSourceName}/{dataSetName}
  1. If the service is a protected service, check "Add token" and enter the corresponding token in the "Add token" text box listed on the interface;
  2. Enter the URL of the layer, see step 1 for the format;
  3. Enter the layer name;
  4. Click "OK". The camera will fly to the location of the layer and display the 3D scene. At the same time, you can view the list of layers added to the scene through the  icons in the toolbar, control the visibility, or hover to the specified layer and click the  icon that appears on the right side of the panel to remove the layer.

Note: S3M Layer Service, i.e. Spatial 3D Model Layer Service, is used by iEarth WebApp to load 3D model data such as inclined photographic model, BIM model, fine model, point cloud and so on through S3M Layer Service. It supports to save S3M model layer attribute settings.

Load Scene

  1. Enter the scenario URL in the format of http://<server>:<port>/iserver/services/***/rest/realspace.
  2. If the service is a protected service, check "Add token" and enter the corresponding token in the "Add token" text box listed on the interface;
  3. Click OK. The camera will fly to the layer position and display the 3D scene. At the same time, you can view the list of layers added to the scene through the  icons in the toolbar, control the visibility, or hover to the specified layer and click  Remove Layer which appears on the right side of the panel.

Local Data

Select "Local Data" supports uploading local KML format data as layers to be added to the scene.

  • Bingmap basemap
  • Sky Map
  • Longitude and latitude basemap
  • Standard Map
  • Light Map
  • Image Map

A mouse click on any basemap displays a scene based on that basemap.

Mouse over the selection box of a service entry to see if it can be added; click to select the service that can be added, then click the OK button to fly the camera to the layer location and display the 3D scene.
