CreateFromStream

The CreateFromStream method enables you to stream layer data from the server without first storing it in a client local file. Information from the remote layer file is retrieved, added to the terrain, and then removed dynamically based on the camera's position. This option enables you to fly without waiting for the entire layer to load.

§   Create the group using IProjectTree6.CreateGroup.

§  Find the group, if you know the name, using IProjectTree6.FindItem.

§  Traverse the Tree using IProjectTree6 methods such as GetNextItem(), until you come to the desired GroupID.

Return Value

pITerraExplorerObject6

An ITerraExplorerObject6, representing the streaming layer.
