	: It is possible to import terrain layers from the [[Glossary#A#ArcGIS\|ArcGIS]] service from [[Glossary#E#Esri\|Esri]], for those terrain data layers that are not by default loaded when creating a project in the Tygron Engine. An Esri/ ArcGIS account is not required to be able to import publicly published services from the online ArcGIS repository. When the user wants to create his own ArcGIS terrains, appropriate software is needed to create such [[shapefiles]] and contour polygons, after which the file needs to be uploaded and published as a feature service in the ArcGIS account of the user/ organisation. It is important to publish the data as a feature service, because this service allows for queries to search the included data. A Map service for example, is only a polygon as an image, that can better be used as an overlay, as there is not data in this published map format that can be searched for with a query. See also [[TQL\|Tygron Query Language]]		: It is possible to import terrain layers from the [[Glossary#A#ArcGIS\|ArcGIS]] service from [[Glossary#E#Esri\|Esri]], for those terrain data layers that are not by default loaded when creating a project in the Tygron Engine.

	: Because the Tygron Engine uses the GeoJSON file format, it is also possible to upload GeoJSON files directly into your project. This process has as advantage that (proprietary) data does not need ~~access~~ to ~~ArcGIS.

	: When a specific terrain data set is available for your project and, for any reason, the ArcGIS method is not desirable, it is also possible to upload the terrain data directly into the project. For this, the data needs to be available in GeoJSON format. To convert shapefiles into this format, a third party GIS editor tool ~~is required~~.
