Using an Existing Cells Layer

It is also possible to create the Conceptual Model using an existing cells layer. To have an existing cells layer on the database you can either copy it from another database (find more about data copying at Error: Reference source not found, page Error: Reference source not found) or create it using the method on the previous note.

Proceed to the creation of the Conceptual Model at the menu CONTROLLER → CELLS MANAGER.

Select the tab Create Cell Layer.

On the Name field, enter the name of the cells layer.


Enter the SRS, Resolution and Box information parameters.

Click on the OK button to create the Conceptual Model.

Note: It is necessary that the user informs the cell column because there are other softwares from the Terra family that can also generate cells layers, but with different column names. So far, it is important to keep compatibility between them. However, cells layers generated with TerraAmazon always have the cell column named as cell_oid.
