Step 3: Inserting Layers

Layers are inserted in a project from:

§  Files on your own computer or on your local network.

§  A remote database that is served over a network by one of these GIS servers:

§  SkylineGlobe Server

§  Oracle Spatial Database

§  TerraGate Server (Legacy support).

§  ArcSDE Raster Server

§  Web Map Server/Web Map Tile Service (WMS/WMTS)

§  Web Coverage Service (WCS)

§  ECW Image Web Server

§  Google Earth Enterprise Server

Layers that have a coordinate system that differs from that used in the project must be reprojected. See “Inserting New Layers" in the “Layer Management” chapter for more information.

TerraBuilder has several tools that facilitate the conversion of files to formats that TerraBuilder can use. See the “TerraBuilder Tools” chapter for more information.

TerraBuilder plug-ins enable TerraBuilder to read an extensive range of formats See “File Format Plug-ins” in the “Layer Management” chapter for more information.
