Manage Data Layers

Data layer management in RIM-Nat allows administrators to control and optimize the use of 3D data on the portal.

View the Portal’s Data Layer Library

The data layer library is accessible from the “Layers” section of the portal. It groups all imported 3D layers, including point clouds, BIM models, textured meshes, etc.

Layers are centralized and can be assigned to projects according to the specific needs of each project. Each layer can be assigned to one or more projects, enabling efficient resource reuse and centralized data management.

Edit Data Layer Settings

Layer administrators can edit data layer settings directly from the data layer library. This includes renaming, reorganizing, and adjusting specific properties of layers.

View Layer Assignments to Projects

Data layers can be assigned to one or more projects on the portal. The “Layers” section provides an overview of the layer assignments to projects, facilitating data usage tracking and ensuring each layer is available to the teams that need it.

Delete an Unassigned 3D Data Layer

3D layers that are not assigned to any projects can be deleted to free up storage space and optimize portal resources. This feature is only available for layers that are no longer in use. Therefore, you must first remove the layer from any projects using it before deletion.

Deleting layers from the data layer library helps keep the library organized by removing obsolete or unused layers.

Monitor Subscription Usage for Data Layers

The portal’s subscription imposes limits on the number of data layers that can be stored. Administrators can monitor subscription usage by checking storage thresholds for layers. This monitoring feature helps manage resources proactively, avoiding overages and ensuring the subscription is used optimally.
