Add 2D Polygons to a 3D Slide [Beta]

Learn how to add 2D Polygons to a 3D Slide to display geological and infrastructure area data.

Overview

2D Polygons display area-based geological and infrastructure data in your 3D Slide. Polygons drape onto the topography and can be configured by colour, transparency, and attribute category. Common examples include geological units, property boundaries, and claim outlines.

Step by Step Instructions

Add 2D Polygons to a 3D Slide

  1. Expand the 2D Objects folder in the Add Objects & Files panel.

  2. Click the Polygons folder:

  3. Click the + icon beside the file you want to add:

The polygons will overlay the topography and a 2D Objects folder will appear in the Object Settings panel.


Customize 2D Polygons

Click the object name in the 2D Objects panel to open the Properties panel:


Show or Hide the Legend

Click the Legend icon in the Properties panel.

The legend appears in the lower right corner of the slide:


Show or Hide Categories

Click the eye icon beside a category to hide it from the slide. Click the icon again to show it. Use ShowAll or Hide All to toggle every category at once:


Adjust the Transparency

Use the slider to make the 2D Polygons more or less transparent over the topography. The scale runs from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque):


Select the Attribute

Use the dropdown to select the attribute used. Available attributes reflect the fields in the uploaded data file:


Customize Each Category Colour

Click the colour swatch beside the title to change the associated colour:


Additional Notes
