Maps

Name (ID)

Unique name (identifier) of the integrated map.

Name (ID)

Unique name (identifier) of the integrated map.

Use original Cesium Shader

Select to use the original Cesium shader. The VC Map uses a custom shader by default, which makes colors slightly clearer and the night darker.

Enable lightning

Enable lightning for the globe with the light source of the scene.

Light intensity

The intensity controls the strength of the light in the scene. Intensity has a minimum value of 0.0 and no maximum value.

Enforce WebGL anti-aliasing

Enforces WebGL anti-aliasing.

Globe Color

Color of the globe if no base layer is active or the base layer contains transparencies.

Limit camera (height/distance)

If selected, limits the camera height/distance according to the selected mode.

Camera limiter mode

Height: The camera is limited with an absolute height above ground.
Distance: The camera is limited with a relative distance to the terrain.

Height (if Camera Limiter Mode: Height active)

The minimum camera height in meters.

Distance (if Camera limiter mode: Distance active)

The minimum camera distance in meters.

Level (if Camera limiter mode: Distance active)

The level at which the terrain should be queried. Higher levels are more precise, but lead to increased traffic and performance loss.

Terrain URL (if Camera limiter mode: distance active)

URL of the querried terrain.

Name (ID)

Unique name (identifier) of the included map.

Switch at end of movement

Defines when a new oblique aerial image is loaded. By enabling this setting, a new oblique aerial image will only be loaded after a map movement has ended. By default, images are loaded directly with the map movement.

Switch at image boundaries

Defines whether to switch to a new image at image borders.

Switch threshold

Specifies the threshold at which to jump to the next oblique image. The value range is between 0 and 1. At a value of 0, the image is switched if the map center is outside the image. At 0.5, the image change is already initiated when the map center is in the outer half of the image. The image is always changed when the threshold value is 1.

Fallback map

The name of the fallback map to use when the activation of the oblique map fails (e.g. in case there is no oblique image available at the current viewpoint when switching to the oblique aerial map). The "Currently active map" option refers to the map that was used before the oblique imagery map was activated.
If an alternative map is selected, the alternative map is activated or retained instead of the standard behavior (jump to the nearest oblique aerial image) and a message is displayed.

Maintain viewpoint

Defines whether to maintain the current viewpoint on dataset change (e.g. for several oblique imagery layers of different years or coverage) instead of the default behavior (jump to the nearest oblique aerial image). If no image from the newly selected data set can be displayed for the current view (no data available), the new data set is not used and a message is displayed instead.
