General Terrain
GISBox supports converting “GEOTIFF” and other formats to Terrain format and publishing them. (Click to view the terrain tiling tutorial → Terrain Tiling)
The generated terrain service can be viewed in the “General Terrain” in the “Distribution” interface, as shown in the following figure:
1. Add Terrain Service
There are two methods to add terrain services. One is to enable the “Publish as Service at the same time” setting during terrain tiling. Upon completion of the terrain tiling task, the corresponding terrain service will be automatically generated. The other method is to manually add the terrain tile data and then generate the corresponding terrain service.
1.1 Publish as a service at the same time
When tiling a terrain file, you can publish it as a service at the same time, as shown in the following figure:
Click “General Terrain” in the distribution on the left to see the automatically generated terrain service, as shown below:
1.2 Add Manually
When tiling a terrain file, if the “Publish as service at the same time” setting is not checked, you need to manually add the general terrain data and then generate the corresponding terrain service.
In the “General Terrain” interface, click the “Add” button in the upper right corner, as shown below:
In the pop-up “Add General Terrain Data”, select the local terrain data file, as shown in the following figure:
Then click the “Confirm” button, and the corresponding terrain service will be generated in the general terrain.
