What are Project Sources

Project Sources are the Geo data sets that are used to create the 3D model in the Engine with. Also, all the additional data a user has imported is listed in the Project Sources.

Where to find the Project Sources

These Project Sources are visible in different overviews in the editor:

  • In the hover panel when clicking in the 3D world in the default view
  • In the Source Overlay
  • In the Project Source Table (see below for more information)
  • In the Project Sources (see below for more information)

Project Source Table

The Project Source Table shows in a table view:

  • the name of the dataset
  • the type
  • the publisher of the dataset
  • the number of features in the 3D model (count).
If the count is 0, this either means the data is not used for generating the 3D model or the data is a raster dataset which technically does not contain features, but cells with a value. The cells are not counted in this table.
