See "Logging In to a SkylineGlobe Server" in this chapter for more information. After logging in, the SkylineGlobe Layers dialog is displayed showing all layer types.

4.      Select the layer you want to load, and click Load Layer. Use CTRL-click or SHIFT-click to multi-select layers. If a layer was assigned an alias in the SkylineGlobe Layers dialog, you also can right-click and select Load by Alias. Aliases are a mechanism used in SkylineGlobe Server which enable users to easily access updates to a layer – when the alias is transferred to an updated version of the layer. When an update to a layer is available, if layer was "loaded by alias", all the user needs to do is refresh the layer. See the SkylineGlobe Server User Guide for more information.

Note:       When loading a feature layer, the Select Layer dialog opens with the selected layer(s) listed in the Select a Layer section. See "Select layer dialog" in the "Feature Layers" chapter for information.
