Web Map Services Plugin
The Web Map Services (WMS/WMTS) plugin provides an interface for the user to connect to a WMS or WMTS server, browse the available layers, and select layers to add to the 3D window.
The functionality of the WMS plugin is exposed through a toolbar:
If the toolbar is not visible, go to the View menu, then under Toolbars, select Web Map Services.
