A height sector is a data item which store the height data in meters. Each height sector is a square tile of 500m x 500m. Height values are stored with a precision of 3 decimals. The amount of points per height sector depend on the DEM resolution configured in advanced options of the [[New Project Wizard]], before project creation, and cannot be increased or decreased later on.
3D models in different formats, such as BIM data or a SketchUp model, can be converted to the I3S format with a SLPK file. See the text below to learn more about this.


Height sectors are not directly accessed in the editor, but can be manipulated indirectly using the [[Terrain height tool]] or [[applying Geotiffs to the DEM]].
==What is I3S?==
The I3S (Indexed 3D Scene Layer Specification) is a format for large 3D Geo datasets. The specification is especially designed for streaming large 3D data over the web. The specification originates from Esri and was adopted as a Community Standard by the OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) in 2017. An I3S dataset is also called a Scene Layer.


==What is an SLPK?==
A Scene Layer Package (SLPK) is a file format for the storage/exchange of one I3S layer.

3D models in different formats, such as BIM data or a SketchUp model, can be converted to the I3S format with a SLPK file. See the text below to learn more about this.

What is I3S?

The I3S (Indexed 3D Scene Layer Specification) is a format for large 3D Geo datasets. The specification is especially designed for streaming large 3D data over the web. The specification originates from Esri and was adopted as a Community Standard by the OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) in 2017. An I3S dataset is also called a Scene Layer.

What is an SLPK?

A Scene Layer Package (SLPK) is a file format for the storage/exchange of one I3S layer.
