TerraExplorer offers an array of line of sight tools:
- Line of Sight - Provides a visual indication of whether specific locations in the 3D World can be seen from a selected position. The tool displays a visual marker for the existence of a line of sight from a single observer position to multiple positions in the world.
-
Viewshed - A collection of tools that enable you to calculate the view from a selected observer point or analyze the visibility of a selected area from multiple observer viewpoints.
- Viewshed on Route - A collection of tools that provide you with a graphical representation of the view on the terrain from a series of points (route). The animation can be defined by movement according to a set speed or by progress along a defined route over a defined time frame.
-
Visibility Dome (formerly known as Threat Dome) - Analyzes and displays the area that is visible from a given point on the terrain within a 360 degree horizontal field of view. Several display options for the visibility dome are available so that the particular information required can be easily visualized. The visibility dome can be generated as a dome that defines the outer boundaries of the volume that is visible from the viewpoint, as a dome base that divides between . non-visible areas, or alternatively as a skyline that highlights obstructions to the field of view.
- Buffer Query - Detects all penetrations by 3D elements (e.g., 3D object or 3DML) to a set buffer zone of a selected polyline. The tool scans the buffer zone of each of the polyline's query points, and colors in red all query points with breached buffer zones.
