Catalog

The catalog contains multiple list pages of different resource types: Resources, Base Maps, Terrains, Linear References, and Publications.
Add any resources to the Viewer by clicking on the slider.
Use the 'Clear All' button to remove all resources from the active workspace and start over.
Use the search box to filter the list or click 'Active' at the top right to show only the already added resources from the workspace. Using '#active' or '#inactive' in the search box will also filter the list.

Only for 3DM Cloud: The three dots on the right of each resource allows inspecting the metadata of a specific resource.
