Step 4: Creating Resolution Pyramids

TerraBuilder requires sufficient multi-resolution levels for each layer to create the final 3D terrain output. The multi-resolution levels are known as a resolution pyramid. It is best to create the resolution pyramid when a source is inserted in a project, if it does not have one already. If resolution pyramids are not created, TerraBuilder creates them automatically before creating an MPT file.

See “Creating Resolution Pyramids” in the “Layer Management” chapter for more information.

If the Oracle database is used for layer storage, layers can be uploaded to Oracle and then used as needed. See "Uploading to Oracle" in the “Layer Management” chapter for more information.
