info

All layers and files generated by the Panel are saved in the Project Directory.

How To Use the Tools

1. Topo Layers

This tool generates three essential Topo Layers: Topo Point, Topo Line, and Topo Polygon.

How to Use

1. Save and Set the Project Projection
   Ensure the project is saved and the appropriate projection is set.

2. Add a Base Layer

   • Go to Layer > Add Layer > Add Vector Layer to browse and select your base layer.
   • Alternatively, you can drag and drop the layer into the project.

3. Open Tool Set

   • Access the Tool Set by clicking the icon or using the shortcut ALT + SHIFT + T.

4. Create Topo Layers

   • Click on Create Topo Layers. This will generate three new layers:
     • TopoPoint
     • TopoLine
     • TopoPolygon

5. Edit and Add Features

   • Toggle the edit mode for each layer.
   • Click on Add Features to add geometry (Point, Line, Polygon).
   • After adding a feature, a dropdown menu will appear. Select the corresponding topo type from the list.

6. Set for LPM Generation

   • Once the layers are prepared, click the 'Set for LPMs' button under the Topo Layers section to set the layers for Land Parcel Mapping (LPM) generation.

7. Revert to Normal Mode

   • If you need to revert the layers from LPM mode to normal, simply click the 'Revert' button.

2. Side Village

This tool generates a side village layer, essential for Land Parcel generation.

How to Use

1. Open Tool Set

   • Access the Tool Set as previously described.

2. Select Village Final Shapefile

   • From the Side Village section, select your Village Final Shapefile from the dropdown list.

3. Create Side Village Layer

   • Click the Create Side Village Layer button. This will create a new layer called 'Side_Villages' in your project.

4. Split the Layer at Tri-junctions

   • Split the layer based on village tri-junctions. Input the corresponding names and village codes into the attribute table.
   • Save the layer.

5. Set for LPM Generation

   • Click the 'Set for LPMs' button in the Topo Layers section to mark this layer for LPM generation.

3. Create a Layer from Selected Features

This tool allows you to create a new layer based on the features selected from the active layer.

How to Use

1. Select a Layer

   • Choose a layer from the Layer Panel.

2. Select Features

   • Use the Selection Toolbar to select the features you wish to include in the new layer.

3. Create New Layer

   • Click on the Tool Set panel, then click the Create New Layer button. A new layer containing only the selected features will be added to the project.

4. Optional: Create a Temporary Layer

   • If you want to create a temporary layer, check the box Create a Temporary Layer before clicking Create New Layer.

4. Base Map Selection Tool

Overview

The Base Map Selection Tool allows users to add various map layers to their projects with ease. This feature is designed to provide flexibility and a user-friendly interface for selecting and integrating base maps, such as Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, and Bing Earth, into your application.

Features

1. Dropdown Menu (ComboBox):
   • Select from predefined base map options like Open Street Map, Google Maps, Google Satellite, etc.
2. Submit Button:
   • Click to add the selected base map layer to your application.

How to Use

1. Launch the Tool

Open the application, and the Base Map Selection Tool is accessible within the main interface.

2. Select a Base Map

• Locate the dropdown menu labeled "Select Base Map Layer."
• Click on the dropdown arrow to reveal the list of available base maps.
• Options include:
  • Open Street Map
  • Google Map
  • Google Satellite
  • Google Satellite Hybrid
  • Google Satellite Terrain Hybrid
  • Bing Earth

3. Add the Map Layer

• Once you select a base map, click the "Add Layer" button
• you may see a confirmation message.
• The selected map layer is immediately added to your project.

Supported Base Maps

Base Map	Description	Max Zoom
Open Street Map	Free, community-driven map data with global coverage.	19
Google Map	Standard Google map with roads and place details.	19
Google Satellite	High-quality satellite imagery.	20
Google Satellite Hybrid	Satellite imagery with overlaid roads and labels.	20
