You can apply spatial filters to 3D object and point scene layers in Layer properties. For example, you can hide buildings and trees within a drawn polygon or select a single building to hide and replace it with a BIM model.
Under Spatial filters, click Configure spatial filters to create spatial filters.
Filter by a polygon
You can draw a polygon around features to exclude or include in a scene.
To filter by drawing a polygon, complete the following steps:
- Click Draw polygons
, and do the following:- Click a location in the scene to start drawing a polygon and click to add points.
- To finish the polygon, click the first vertex, and double-click or press Enter.
You can draw more polygons to add to the spatial filter.
- Optionally, click Edit polygon
, and do the following to edit the polygon:- Use the interactive handles to resize, rotate, or move the feature horizontally and vertically.
- Click the polygon again to move individual vertices to reshape the polygon.
You can also drag vertices in the middle of a segment to add vertices. This allows you to further reshape the polygon.
- Click again to use the interactive handles.
- For Mode, include or exclude the features in the polygon by doing one of the following:
- Click exclude to exclude the features inside the polygon.
- Click include to include only the features inside the polygon.
- Optionally, click Clear spatial filters to reset the filters.
- Click Done to apply the spatial filter and return to the layer properties pane.
Filter by a selection
You can select features individually to exclude them from the scene.
To filter by a selection, complete the following steps:
- Click Select features
to select features.Each object you select is added to the selected features. Click a feature to unselect it.
- Optionally, click Clear spatial filters to reset the filters.
- Click Done to hide the selected features in the view and return to the layer properties pane.
