The 3D Model layer allows you to add local 3D model data and online 3D Tiles model data.

  • Click on the [+] in the 3D model layer, then select 'Open File' or 'Open Folder' to import local model data.

Click on the [+] in the 3D model layer, then select "Add 3DTiles Service" to add online 3DTiles model data services.

Once the 3D model has been opened, the model name in the layer can be selected directly and a right-click performed to initiate a series of actions. These include the Rename, Assoclate Vector Layer, Zoom to Layer, Open Folder, Reload, Remove the model.

Furthermore, by hovering the mouse over the model name in the 3D Model Layer, a series of quick actions can be initiated, including locating, deleting, showing or hiding the model.

Vector Layer

The vector layer is capable of importing KML and SHP files. Once the model has been imported, the [Vector Layer] should be selected and the [+] icon in the vector layer should be clicked in order to import KML and SHP files.
