Add a 3D Display Template

Define a new overlay template to store visual formatting properties. A template can be applied to other loaded data objects. You can also define a default template so that data of the selected type will be formatted consistently when first loaded.

Activity Steps

1. Open Format Display.
2. In the Overlay Objects group, click Show Templates.
3. Click Add.
4. Enter the template Name.
5. Select the data Type from Numeric, Alphanumeric or a calculated field.
6. Click OK.
   
   The new template appears in the Overlay Objects list.
7. Choose when the template will be applied:
   • If checked, the template will be the default template for all new object overlays of the selected type.
     

     Note: A default overlay is created when 3D data is loaded. By enabling a template, you are changing the formatting of subsequent default overlays, as opposed to using system defaults.

   • If unchecked, the template will be available for other objects, but will not be applied when a default overlay is created.
8. Save your project.
