Layer style

Style and explore layers through smart mapping styles and discover themes and patterns in the data.

Layer properties

Depending on the layer type, change the layer properties in scenes, such as configure pop-ups, set visibility ranges, and define filters.

Layer options

Adjust the layer options such as layer order, visibility, and group layers.

Configure ground

Configure ground in a scene by changing elevation layers or how you display and interact with the ground.

When you hover over a layer, you can set the visibility of the layer by turning the visibility toggle button on or off. Layers that are visible in the scene display the Visible layer button Show layer, while hidden layers display the Hidden layer button Hide layer.
