It is a cleanup tool that automatically implements the optimum overlap of multiple datasets throughout the entire Site. Applying this feature provides a clear and accurate representation of the reality, significantly reducing unclear and sometimes dense images that can occur with multiple overlapping datasets.Hide Overlap RemovedHide overlap AppliedNote: The Hide Overlap feature is applied exclusi ...
