Configure project context
Context layers allow you to import specific layers that provide detail and understanding to the project you are editing. Project context layers display in all scenarios when you open a project. They are not displayed in the overview. You can also configure context layers per scenario. See Configure scenario context to learn more.
To configure project context, complete the following steps:
- Browse to the Project context section and click Select Item .
The Select project context dialog box appears.
- Select a web scene item from the list and click Select.
The item appears in the Project context section.
- Click Return to project in the header.
The context layer is added to the project.
Note:
- The supported coordinate systems of context layers depend on the coordinate system of the urban model. See Understanding local and global urban models to learn more.
- To switch context layers on or off when you're editing or viewing a project, click the layer name on the Options menu .
- Pop-ups that you configured in a web scene are shown together with the context layer when the Details side panel is open. To open it, click the Details button at the upper right of the header.
- If the project context includes an elevation layer, this terrain is used when viewing the project instead of the elevation layer defined in the urban model. See Custom elevation layer to learn more.
