create(description, url, layer, showInMyLayersMenu) → {Cesium.promise}

Loads a point cloud layer into the project.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
description	String	The name of the layer as it appears in the Layers tab of the TE4W sidebar.
url	String	The URL of the SkylineGlobe Server (SGS) from which the layer is loaded, e.g., http://www.SkylineGlobe.com/SG.
layer	String	The ID or alias of the layer in the SkylineGlobe Server. You can obtain the layer ID by looking it up in the SGS Manager.

var promise = TerraExplorer.layers.pointCloud.create ("Tile-5-4-1-1",

"http://www.YourDomain.com/SG",

true);

promise.then(function(teObject) {

alert(teObject.description);

teObject.show = false;

}).otherwise(function (err) {

alert(err);

});

Returns

Cesium.promise - A promise (Cesium.promise) that resolves to the newly created point cloud TerraExplorerObject object when loaded or an error string if the URL failed to load.
