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 Geology folder in the Add Objects & Files panel.

  2. Click the 2D Objects folder:

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

The polygons will overlay the topography and a Geology folder will appear in the Object Settings panel.


Customize 2D Polygons

Click the object name in the Geology 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 Show All 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 preferred attribute:


Customize Each Category Colour

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


Crop to Property Boundary

Toggle Crop to Property Boundary on to hide data points outside the property boundary.


Additional Notes

  • Select Revert Changes at the bottom of the panel to discard any unsaved modifications and restore your previous settings.

  • Object customization saves automatically. To save the initial slide view, click Save Changes in the upper right when you are finished editing.

  • Only files with Accepted status appear in the Add Objects & Files list when building a 3D Slide. If an object or file is missing, check its status on the Files page. Learn more in Understanding File Statuses.
