Data Layers

Once a project is activated, you can manage the visibility and accessibility of all your project data layers. Layer Settings are found on the upper right side of the MultiViewer window.

There are 4 layer groups in a COV project: Cover Map, Terrain, Thematic Layer, and Aerial Image: Cover Map: This group includes various layers used as a background and the basis of data visualization for your project work, which is typically orthophotos, OpenStreetMap and other WMS services. Terrain: It contains Digital Elevation Models (DEM), either Digital Surface Model (DSM) or Digital Terrain Model (DTM). Thematic Layer: It includes different vector and raster layers. E.g. a vector layer (WFS) containing delimitation of the project area, etc. Aerial Images: It includes image layers that contain detailed images for inspection. In a COV context, the layer comprises a set of oblique aerial photographs taken at an angle.


Layer Management

Layers are, by essence, datasets that can be managed individually. The layer set up is used to better organize projects. Each layer’s visibility and accessibility can be controlled separately by the checkboxes in front.

Cover map, Terrain, and Thematic layers These types of a layer can be turned on/off by ticking/unticking the checkboxes left to their layer names

Aerial Images Left checkbox: turn on/off the visualization of perspective centers on a cover map Right checkbox: turn on/off a layer for spatial search.


Workspace

General workspace set up
A typical MultiViewer workspace consists of cover maps and viewports.

Cover maps show where you are and what you see (through OpenStreetMap, orthophoto, 3D models, elevation models, and point clouds) Viewports (there can be max. 4 viewports open at the same time) present details of target area/object for inspection through images where registrations and quick notes can be made.

Search: activate spatial search function by entering an address. The spatial search function is further explained in the property inspection section

User menu: activate or change projects, manage project data, and read more about MultiViewer

Toolbox menu: access tools for inspection and workspace settings

Layer settings: manage the visibility and accessibility of your project data layers. A detailed explanation can be found in the data layers section
