To configure data

Configure imported data sources to specify desired settings, such as geo location, draping options, stylization, or tooltips. During configuration, a user can also map data source properties to model properties. All configuration settings except for the data Type field can be modified after initial configuration

Configure Data

Import a database or file-based data source.
Double-click the new data source in the Data Sources panel to open the Data Source Configuration dialog box. Note: Data imported using the Model Builder configures automatically. Some data types are available for additional configuration, others are not.
Click Type and select the appropriate category for your data (such as Road, Building, Coverage, etc.). Note: You cannot change the data source Type after initial configuration.
