If you have an Elevation Layer available you have the capability to view that layer and any others in 3D.


To do this, follow the steps below.

-Note: 3D layers can also be accessed from Operations Center . To see that process follow this link: https://pctagcloud-support.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/51000381875-view-3d-layers-from-operations-center-


Steps:


1. In View, select the desired Elevation Layer.

2. Click the 'More Options' button (represented by the three dots) next to the layer. 

3. Click '3D View'.


4. The 3D Elevation Layer will be displayed in a new tab. Click and drag on the layer to change the viewing angle, and scroll to zoom in or out.

5. You can change the scale of the layer with the slider at the bottom.

6. Choose a layer from the left to be displayed over the 3D Elevation Layer. 

7. Multiple maps can be displayed at once by changing from 'Single' to 'Multi'.

8. The layer legends can be toggled on or off.
