How to display a Propeller orthophoto in HCSS HeavyJob

Propeller's WMTS connection streams your most recent orthophoto directly into HCSS HeavyJob, so your map always reflects the latest drone flight without any manual exports.


ℹ️ Note: You must have the WMTS connection enabled on your Propeller account to complete this workflow. If you don't see the WMTS option in Settings, contact your customer success manager or reach out via the in-app chat.

How to connect Propeller to HCSS HeavyJob

In HCSS HeavyJob:

  1. Open HeavyJob and go to Map.
