This page gives an overview on the tools and functions to use oblique resources in Orbit desktop products.

Use the “Open Project” procedure to load the desired imported oblique resources :

• Manage your Oblique Projects

Projects can be available to all users but permissions must be granted by the Orbit administrator.
Don't worry if you are using Orbit standalone products, you are an administrator. When using Orbit Client-Server all users have a well defined role / level of use.

When an Oblique Project is open, the oblique views will always follow the center of the Map 2D.
If the center of the map contains oblique images, they will be opened in each oblique view.
The view angles of the oblique images are displayed as a on the Map.
Panning on the map will refresh the oblique views of every viewing direction.

The pan function (hand) is by default active in each oblique view.
How to navigate on the Oblique views in combination with the 2D Map can be read here:

• Navigate on Image view

Viewing and using oblique data requires lots of tools and functions to operate fast and easy.
