WMS and Layers

A WMS map (XWMS) document can have many layers. Users now have access to the available layers by opening the Layers Display dialog through one of the following paths:

  • By right-clicking on XWMS files in the Raster manager dialog and selecting Layers.
  • By selecting the Layers field in the Display Print section of the Properties dialog.

    This field is not visible if more than one raster is currently selected (as for "segments" of line strings).

Select the desired layers in the Layers Display dialog and click Apply, then OK to update the view in AECOsim Building Designer.



If the same XWMS is attached more than once, each attachment can display different layers. To achieve this, information is stored with the attachment to know which layer(s) must display for each attachment. To minimize the risk of being out of sync, Raster Manager stores only the layers whose display status has changed.
