The Swipe Layers tool helps you detect the changes between two layers in the same location of any of the following types: mesh, point cloud, or imagery, or between one of these layer types and the base terrain. Using the tool, you can horizontally swipe between them, dynamically revealing and hiding parts of each layer.
Swipe and compare:
- In the 3D Window, zoom in on an area with two visible layers, or with a single layer that you want to compare to the base terrain.
- On the sidebar >
> Tools tab > Compare.
- In the Layer Comparison panel, toggle on or off any of the following: 3D Mesh, Point Cloud, and Imagery to filter the selection to the layer type(s) you want.
- Select the layers for comparison from the two dropdown lists, and click Start.
- Slide the slider all the way to the right to completely show the first layer, and all the way to the left to completely show the second one. As the slider moves between these extremes, the first layer is gradually clipped to reveal the second one. Click Freeze at any point to freeze the slider at a specific value. Click Auto-Repeat
to automatically loop the slider value between 0-100% to dynamically change the top layer clipping.
