Layer Name

Use this dialog to create, edit, or delete layers in the SFI file.

Where can I find the dialog?

On the toolbox, select the SFI Properties... icon, and go to the Layer Name tab.

Using the dialog

The list displays all layers in the SFI file, both theoretical and physical. The list may include layers created or produced in Gemini Terrain, as well as layers imported from VIPS (the road module in NovaPoint) or Anpakke.

Available operations

Right-click to perform the following operations:

  • New... – Creates new layers
  • Edit... – Edits existing layers
  • Delete – Deletes layers

New user-defined layers are assigned layer numbers starting from 100 and upwards.

GUID (Globally Unique Identifier)

All layers receive their own GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) when created. The GUID does not change even if you edit the geometry of the layer. If you copy the layer using Save as..., new GUIDs are generated. The GUIDs are stored in the model but are invisible to users.
