3DVIZ: Maps > Load Overlay File

This tool adds a Petra Overlay File (*.OVL) at a flat depth inside the 3DViz Module's cube.  As an overlay file, various overlay layers can be turned and off inside the 3dViz module. This tool can be a little more flexible than the Map Images tool, but can't display map data outside of an overlay file (such as attribute maps or data posting).

To modify how an overlay file is displayed:
  • Select the button on the on the Layer Toolbar
  • 3DVIZ: Maps > Load Overlay File
