Oblique Collections

This section configures oblique imagery collections. An oblique image layer can consist of several datasets.

Clicking on icon addElement opens the editor for oblique imagery collections. When adding a new oblique aerial view layer, a new entry is automatically created in the Contents section.

The general actions for editing components are explained here.

The following parameters can be configured for the respective oblique imagery collection:

An oblique imagery collection requires at least one dataset. Alternatively, a combined oblique imagery collection can be created, consisting of several integrated individual datasets. The first mentioned dataset is activated when the map application is started.

With icon addElement a new dataset can be inserted following the respective dataset. With icon removeElement the corresponding dataset is removed.

Apply applies the changes made to the displayed app. See also Editing and saving.
