Data Layers Panel

Overview

The Data Layers Panel in SiEGA gives users a central place to manage and visualize different types of spatial data, including 3D tiles, high-resolution imagery, and basemaps. This panel brings together multiple data sources such as Cesium, Datasmith, and basemap options, making it easy to control what appears in the virtual environment.

Users can stream assets from Cesium ION, upload and view local imagery, and import 3D models using Datasmith files. The panel also allows users to switch between different basemap styles to suit their project needs. Whether you are working with aerial imagery, terrain models, or architectural tilesets, the Data Layers Panel helps create an interactive and immersive workspace for exploration and analysis within SiEGA.

Features

• Asset Search: Easily find 3D assets and Imagery through scrolling or by using our search function

• Interactive Visualization: Place assets in the environment and navigate around them using various navigation modes

• Import Token: Add additional assets that can be imported with a valid Cesium Token

• Asset Import: Import Datasmith files, custom imagery, and 3D tilesets directly from your computer into SiEGA for flexible visualization

• Focus on Asset Location: Instantly center the camera on any asset with location data to streamline navigation and inspection

• Cartographic Clipping Tool: Use Cesium’s cartographic polygon tool to clip or hide specific areas of a tileset and focus on regions of interest

How to use

Open the actions menu and select the Data Layers option. This will open the Data Layers Panel.

Within the Data Layers Panel, users can access multiple options for managing assets. By default, the Cesium and Datasmith sections are collapsed, while the Basemap Layers section is expanded. Users can expand or collapse each section by clicking the arrow icon to the left of the section name.
