Selecting and Displaying Layers
You can display any data source available in Spatial Explorer as a layer on the Spatial Explorer map. You can also drag and drop data from the Kingdom Project Explorer into Spatial Explorer to display on the Spatial Explorer map.
For more information about the data sources you can display in Spatial Explorer, see Adding Data Sources. The table below summarizes the main tasks you can perform related to selecting and displaying data layers on the Spatial Explorer map.

provides the following actions: Spatial Explorer adds layers to the Layers list on top of each other, so each new layer you add is added at the top of the list. The order of layers in the Layers list defines the display order, meaning that data layers at the top of the list display on top of any layers that are lower in the list. You can drag and drop items in the Layers list to change the display order.
If you add a layer containing Kingdom or Harmony well data, Spatial Explorer automatically adds an additional layer containing deviation survey data for the wells in the layer you added (if none of the wells have deviation survey data then this additional layer will not contain any data).
If you remove an item from the Layers list by deleting it or by clearing the check box for that layer in the Data Source list, and then add the layer back to the Layers list, Spatial Explorer adds that layer at the top of the list, not where it was located originally. If you want to turn a layer off without losing its position in the display order, click the Data Type icon (
) for that layer. For more information about data icons, see Data Layer Icons.
If you deselect a layer from the Data Source list, any display settings you customized are lost. However, if you click the Data Type icon, the layer can be hidden but the data settings are retained.
