In addition to feature layer data sources which are composed entirely of homogeneous or heterogeneous geometries (points, lines, and polygons ) representing geographic features, TerraExplorer Pro also supports the loading of several types of complex feature layers, which combine different data types in one layer. These include:FLY – Skyline's proprietary project file format that contains all a project's settings and content. The .FLY file does not include the actual terrain databases (MPT file) or any other loaded 2D or 3D files. It only contains objects (e.g., labels) and pointers to the local or remote files.OGC KML/KMZ – OGC standard, publicly defined layer, which can be composed of feature and raster elements. For more information, see loading an OGC KML/KMZ file, TerraExplorer preserves KML object properties as accurately as possible by translating KML objects to their equivalent TerraExplorer geometries. If there is no TerraExplorer element that precisely represents a KML object, TerraExplorer uses the closest match. For a list of TerraExplorer – KML translations >. If a KML with a tour element is loaded into a TerraExplorer project, it opens as a TerraExplorer presentation that can be edited (modify the route, add captions and operations, etc.) and played just like any natively-created one.

The 7.3.1 minor update to TerraExplorer adds TEZ functionality for GTX files.

GTX files packaged as TEZ can be installed without manually copying the GTX file into a specific folder. As with other TEZs, they can also be installed without administrator rights. After installing a TEZ file, all its add-ons/configurations are installed and applied to any TerraExplorer opened on the same device.TerraExplorer uses vertical datum grid shift files (GTX) for shifting and transforming between some coordinate systems that have different datums. Generally, when one of the coordinate systems in your project references a particular GTX file that was not found on your computer, a notification will display in the coordinate system dialog box or in the Error/Message Log with a link to a page with the required GTX file. The GTX file on this page is packaged as a TEZ, a TerraExplorer zip file that enables the GTX to be installed without manually copying the file into a specific folder.High Resolution Imagery and Elevation LayersAbility to load offline and online imagery and elevation layers with resolution higher than 7 cm per pixel to globe Lat-Long project.True 2D Orthographic Rendering ModeTerraExplorer 7.3 2D and 2D North navigation modes now feature true orthographic rendering mode. This mode provides a clearer measure of distance between objects such as buildings and their relative sizes.3D Mesh Supported FormatsNew supported formats include:SLPK v1.7 - TerraExplorer 7.3 can now export 3D mesh layers in ESRI i3S/SLPK v1.7, in addition to v1.5 supported by previous TerraExplorer versions.Bentley 3MX - TerraExplorer 7.3 can now export 3D mesh layers in Bentley 3MX format3D Tiles reader - TerraExplorer 7.3 expands the support of direct loading of 3D Tiles with the following formats and options:Support for models in gltf v2 formatTiles stored in archive .3TZ file formatTiles compressed in gzip archive formatMesh models compressed in Draco format for reduced size and better streamingMesh models in GLB Binary file format3D Tiles exporter - TerraExplorer 7.3 expands the support of exporting 3D mesh layers to 3D Tiles format with the following:Saves models in gltf v2 formatSave models with Draco compressionModels compressed in gzipOpen3DMLOpen3DML is a new 3D

The user to classify areas of layers and objects, e.g., mesh layers, with polygons. The classification can be represented by colorizing the intersecting layers and objects or by displaying a 3D polygon based on an extrusion of the polygon.Pixel to world/ Pixel to objects – Returns the real world coordinates or a list of objects under a specified pixel on the 3D Window.More about: Changes in API 7.3 >PhotoMesh Manual Retouch ToolMesh imperfections, such as bumps, irregular surfaces, or floating artifacts, can now be marked for editing in TerraExplorer using manual retouch layers, in which you mark surfaces for flattening and floating artifacts for removal. The output of the Manual Retouch tool is a polygonal feature "retouch layer" with attribute information that defines what retouch action should be performed in each area. The implementation is then performed in PhotoMesh. More about: Marking a mesh layer for retouching in TerraExplorer >
