Preview and add geometries
Review the status of order data, use the Library to preview data, and add geometries to your Forma project.
Step-by-step guide
Once a project is created in Forma, geometries can be added to the canvas from the library.
First, review the status of the data in the project:
- From the sidebar, select Library.
Here, the data orders and any imports display as a thumbnail.
Once the orders are loaded, preview them in the canvas:
- Hover the cursor over one of the thumbnails in the library and select Preview.
A preview displays with geometries of selected buildings.
To customize which building geometries to include, deselect geometries to exclude them from the current selection:
- Press and hold SHIFT while clicking individual geometries to deselect them.
- Click Add.
The canvas updates with the geometries added to the base layer.
- Select another data type to preview. In this example, property boundaries are selected.
- In the preview, select or deselect the geometries as needed.
- Click Add.
Again, the canvas updates with the selected geometries added to the base layer.
With Forma, it is easy to preview and add data to a project, while customizing the geometry to include.
