define a project data area in map 3d

[sbraddo]

Hi all. Is it possible to reduce the amount of GIS data that im seeing from our state wide sde?As I only need to see the sde data from a project specific area, say 2km x 2km. Not the entire state. Thanks Using MAP 3d 2011

Jmurphy's responce #3 is how I do it. Did you understand and try it?

I've understood that OP wanna only work in a subset area, still having the other data available all around.
If you perform a spatial query, and something lacks, you have to do it again wider.
Let's listen to the OP explanation...

Best way for me to achive the desired result of having a project area that removes all surplus data has been by the use of a location query - as per Jmurphy.

I just add SDE data with an "Add to map with query" drop down option.
Then create my query by using the "Locate on map" drop down menu
Selecting best query option.
Then select or create my project bdy.
Done - all data outside of bdy removed.

Thanks Jmurphy

I just need to be able to get it to work for an ECW or image server image (WMS)- any advice?

You can easily crop georeferenced imagery by boundary with the opensource Qgis, and the result will be georeferenced as well.

Since my glorious Map2006 doesn't support the FDO connection, I cannot answer about querying a WMS layer, so let's listen to Murph...

Your welcomed, as for the clipping or using a query on the ECW it's on the wanted list so either you need to clip it in some other software and save to use in Map3D or use the wipeouts method.
