Data Sets

Geoverse MDM allows you to work with multiple Data Sets at the same time. To do this, start by bringing your Euclideon Data Set files into Geoverse MDM through the Data Sets Panels.

Include Data Set (Ctrl+D) : UDS Add a Euclideon Data Set (.UDS) or Euclideon Data Grid (.UDG) file to the current Project. Include URL Data Set (Ctrl+Shift+O) : URL Add a Data Set from a URL source to the current Project. Remove Data Set: UDS Remove the selected Data Set from the Project. In the Data Set list you can control the visibility of each Data Set by using the checkbox next to its name. You can find out more information about the Data Set such as its point resolution or projection system by hovering your cursor over that Data Set. If the Data Set appears with an exclamation mark or ‘x’ symbol, hover your cursor over that symbol for more information. Data Set Properties This section allows you to see information about your Data Set.

NAME This field can be used to help identify your Data Set by changing the name within the project (this does not affect the original file name).

PATH You can change the file associated with this Data Set by using the Browse Local and Browse URL buttons.

COORDINATE REFERENCE SYSTEM These options let you control where the Data Set is. For any Data Set which has its Projection information embedded, these values cannot be modified.

Working with multiple Data Sets

Geoverse MDM’s most powerful new feature is the ability to create complex scenes of many Data Sets. In the above image you can see a CAD model of a crane placed alongside a scan of a construction site in a dense city. Positioning Data Sets In order to reposition Data Sets you will need at least two Euclideon Data Sets inside Geoverse MDM. Only Data Sets which do not have a GIS projection (EPSG code) can be repositioned with Geoverse MDM.

The fastest way to position a Data Set within Geoverse MDM is to move the camera to where you would like that Data Set to appear on another Data Set, then select the first Data Set and activate the ‘Position by Clicking’ command. With this command, you can click somewhere to position the Data Set at that location.

If you would like to position the Data Set manually, you can simply choose a projection system and type the X/Y/Z values in by hand. You can also scale and rotate the model. Working with multiple projections Geoverse MDM keeps a catalogue of all the projection systems you have used in each Project. Each time you add a Data Set to your project, the projection is included for use on other Data Sets, and for importing CSV data. Please be aware that Geoverse MDM is unable reproject entire Data Sets, so the visual appearance of Data Sets is not accurate when they are displayed in a foreign projection system.

Geoverse MDM will warn you when a Data Set is being displayed in a foreign projection system. This warning appears next to the Data Set as a yellow symbol.

Settings

Geoverse MDM Settings These settings effect how Geoverse MDM behaves across all Projects.

INVERT Y AXIS Enabling this option will cause Geoverse MDM’s camera movements to have inverted pitch.

DISPLAY COORDINATES IN DATA SET’S OWN REFERENCE SYSTEM (PROJECTION) If you enable this option, the coordinates you see when you move the cursor over a Data Set will be shown in that Data Set’s original (or alias) projection system. When this option is disabled, all coordinates are shown in the current scene projection. You can change the scene projection by double clicking on a Data Set, or right clicking and selecting ‘Use this Data Set’s projection’.

FONT SIZE Use this option to control how big the coordinate display (projection system, coordinates, measurements) appear on-screen.

WHEN SHOULD GEOVERSE MDM DISPLAY WGS84 ELEVATION VALUES? Sometimes the elevation value given for WGS84 will differ from your projection system’s Z (elevation) component. This happens when the projection system uses a different vertical datum. You can set Geoverse MDM to always display WGS84 elevation values, never display them, or only when they are different from the Z values.

BING LICENSE KEY If you wish to use Bing Maps, Bing Aerial or Bing Hybrid maps you will need a license key. You can enter your license key here (Open Street Map does not require the use of a license key).

REDUCE CPU USAGE WHILE GEOVERSE MDM IS INACTIVE Enabled this option to make Geoverse MDM reduce resource usage while the program is minimized or does not have focus. If you need Geoverse MDM to run at full speed at all times while running, leave this option off. Main Panel Options In this section you can change how Unlimited Detail data is displayed in the Main Panel.

DISPLAY SKY IMAGE Choosing this option will show the built-in ‘Sky’ image behind the Data Set in the Main Panel.

DISPLAY SOLID COLOR Choose this option to show a flat, solid color behind your data. You can choose which color you would like to display.

POINT DISPLAY MODE This setting determines how your Unlimited Detail data is rendered. Rectangles and Rounded Rectangles will give you faster performance, while Points will give you a higher degree of accuracy.

13 Copyright © 2012-2014 Euclideon Pty Ltd Geoverse Massive Data Manager User Guide Version 1.3.0

PROJECT FOV The Field of View (in degrees) used on the Main Panel. This may be individually overridden by Bookmarks. Map Panel Options In this section you can change how maps are displayed on the Map Panel.

DISPLAY DATA SET When this option is disabled, the orthographic representation of your Unlimited Detail file will disappear on the Map Panel. For large UDG files, this image will automatically change into a simple blue grid when you zoom out on the map.

DISPLAY MAP Geoverse MDM can display maps from a Web Map Service (WMS) underneath your Unlimited Detail files on the Map Panel. For these maps to be correctly positioned, you must be using a geolocated UDS or UDG file.

WMS PROVIDER By default, Geoverse MDM will use Open Street Map as the WMS Provider. Open Street Map is free to use and is available to all users. Bing Maps, Bing Aerial and Bing Hybrid are also available, but to use these maps you must have a license key.

Firewall Exceptions If you are behind a firewall you may need to ask your IT administrator to allow the following domains to use WMS imagery.

Bing maps Open Street Maps http://ecn.t0.tiles.virtualearth.net otile1.mqcdn.com http://ecn.t1.tiles.virtualearth.net otile2.mqcdn.com http://ecn.t2.tiles.virtualearth.net otile3.mqcdn.com http://ecn.t3.tiles.virtualearth.net otile4.mqcdn.com

DISPLAY BLACK BACKGROUND Choose this option if you don’t want to display a map underneath your data. This is recommended for non-geolocated UDS and UDG files.

DATA SET OPACITY This slider controls how opaque the Unlimited Detail image will appear. Label Options These settings determine when Labels are displayed on the Main Panel and Map Panel.

DISPLAY LABELS This option will display or hide all the Labels in the Project. If you would like to selectively change the visibility for some labels, you can do so using the controls in the Label Properties section.

14 Copyright © 2012-2014 Euclideon Pty Ltd Geoverse Massive Data Manager User Guide Version 1.3.0

MAIN PANEL VISIBLE DISTANCE Each Label can be set to appear in a Draw Group, Near, Mid, Far, or Always. You can choose how these groups are defined by setting a minimum and maximum distance for each group. When the distance between a Label and the camera is within its viewing range, it will appear in the Main Panel.

MAP PANEL VISIBILITY LAYERS Similar to Main Panel Visible Distance, this setting allows you to choose how many labels appear on screen at different map zoom levels. Presentation Options This section has options that let you control which UI elements are displayed.

DISPLAY COORDINATES This option will display or hide the coordinate values that appear in the top-right of the view panels when you move the mouse over the Unlimited Detail data.

SHOW EXIT BUTTON This option will display or hide the Exit button, which appears in Presentation mode.

SHOW HELP TIPS This option will display or hide the help tips which appear at the top of the View Panels.

LOCK PANEL SIZE This setting will keep the view splitter in place, so that the Map Panel and Main Panel cannot be resized.

ANIMATE LOCATION MARKERS Enable this option if you would like Location markers to be animated to aid visibility and identification.

PROJECT FONT Choose what font Labels and Bookmark descriptions are displayed in.

RENDER RESOLUTION If you would like Geoverse MDM to render to a specific resolution, you can set it here. Defined resolutions will be scaled to the size of the window. Choose Actual Size if you would like Geoverse MDM to render at the same size as the window itself. Lower resolutions will improve performance.

Internet Streaming

Overview Internet Streaming is a feature of Geoverse MDM that allows a Data Set to exist in the cloud and be viewed without needing a duplicate on your hard drive.

To use this feature, two things are needed. First a Data Set needs to be placed in the cloud, and second the URL and authentication to access the Data Set needs to be entered in to Geoverse MDM. Setup It is recommended that you consult your office network administrator and refer to your company’s policies regarding the uploading of files to the cloud as without the correct setup, there can be security issues and/or exposure of the Data Set to unauthorized users.

Various authentication schemes are supported, and your network administrator can advise which scheme can meet your organization’s security policies.

Supported protocols are HTTP and HTTPS on any specified port number.

Supported authentication schemes are basic, digest, Kerberos, negotiate, NTLM and Amazon Web Services authentication. It is recommended that HTTPS be used if using authentication.

The web the files are located on needs to support range requests (something all recent versions of the major web servers support).

If the uploaded Data Set exceeds 2GB in size, the web server will need to support file sizes and range requests using 64-bit numbers (all the major web servers are capable of this).

On the client computer, access to a Data Set via Internet streaming within your office’s network may require your administrator to create special exceptions in your network’s proxy and/or firewall(s) depending on how tightly those are configured.

It is not possible to predict or anticipate all possible conflicts, but an example of a conflict is Microsoft’s TMG software which cannot properly scan for malware in range- requested data and may block the operation of the Internet streaming if an exception for the malware scanning for range requested data of the Data Set is not added.

This will require your administrator’s unique knowledge of the restrictions that have been placed on access to the Internet in your office to know what changes if any may be needed. A computer connected directly to the Internet shouldn’t however require any special configuration.

17 Copyright © 2012-2014 Euclideon Pty Ltd Geoverse Massive Data Manager User Guide Version 1.3.0

Using Streaming Data Sets

To open a Data Set in the cloud, click on the ‘Include URL Data Set’ button in the Data Set panel. A dialog will be displayed where a URL can be entered. The URL will depend on where the Data Set was uploaded to by your administrator.

If the web server requires authentication, enter these into the dialog username and password boxes, or leave them blank. If left blank, Windows will prompt you for them when loading the Data Set. If you enter them in the Open URL dialog, the password will be visible and there is an option to save the username and password into the Project file.

These credentials will be saved in plain text if you choose this option, so it is not recommended for a high level of security; however it does allow convenience and the sharing of the UDP file(s) with others, giving them the credentials they need to access the file. For maximum security, leave the username and password fields blank and maintain separate credentials for each user that has access to the Data Set.

If the Data Set is hosted by Amazon Web Services, the dialog will detect that the host belongs to Amazon AWS when you enter the URL (including host aliases) and modify the dialog to appear as above. In this case, the Access Key and Secret Key are required to be entered in this dialog if the Data Set hosted by Amazon AWS requires authentication. These will be saved in the Project file. If your security requires these are not to be saved, then do not save a project file.

18 Copyright © 2012-2014 Euclideon Pty Ltd Geoverse Massive Data Manager User Guide Version 1.3.0

Protocols

Geoverse MDM supports a custom protocol to allow you to open Data Sets from web pages. To make a Geoverse MDM link format your web streamed UDS using the follow format: geoverse:open/

Example: geoverse:open/http://streaming.euclideon.com/GossesBluff.uds

This will prompt the user to allow Geoverse MDM to open the Data Set.

19 Copyright © 2012-2014 Euclideon Pty Ltd Geoverse Massive Data Manager User Guide Version 1.3.0

Importing Delimiter-separated values (CSV)

Geoverse MDM can load data from external sources to quickly populate your Project with either Label or Location data. You can import information from text files at any time by dragging them into Geoverse MDM or by clicking on the “Import CSV” button in the Toolbar.

Each time you bring a Data Set into Geoverse MDM, the projection system it uses will be stored and can then be used as a reference system for imported data. You can also import points as WGS84 Lat/Long pairs without needing any other Data Sets.

Choose either Labels or Locations as the destination for your imported data. Labels can be set to have their visibility to show on the Main Panel, Map Panel, or both. Choose ‘Merge Existing Groups’ if you would like the new Locations to use Groups that already exist in your Project file.

If your data has header lines, enter the number into the ‘Skip Lines’ field.

To import data you need to specify all three coordinate columns. You can also import Names (and Groups for Locations), but these are not required. If Names or Groups are not specified for all records, defaults will be used in place.
