TMS Task
Prepare Your Tiled Map Layer
In this lecture, you’ll learn how to process a Tile Map Service (TMS) dataset to your project using the VC Publisher.
TMS is used for raster map tiles – such as orthophotos or base maps – that are organized in a tile pyramid structure. You can use it to bring large background maps into your 3D environment efficiently.
This task is one of the first steps in preparing your city’s Digital Twin.
