Add external layer

External layers allow you to load data from non Ellipsis Drive sources in the Ellipsis Drive viewer. This is done by defining an alternative endpoint from which to retrieve the data as well as the protocol used to load the external data. Note that because the data is hosted externally Ellipsis Drive has no control over the existence, performance or maintenance of this external data set, pros and cons of using this endpoint should be evaluated accordingly.
