Map Controls

Zoom in or out using your mouse scroll wheel, the zoom slider at the top left of the frame, or the sm icon zoom Zoom tool.

Use the sm icon pointer Pointer tool to select areas, fixtures, and devices on the floor plan.

The sm icon mini map Mini-Map tool shows a small popup replica of the entire floor plan in the bottom right, with a dark blue rectangle indicating your current viewer position. This is especially useful for finding your place when zoomed in on larger plans.

The Opacity slider in the top right corner adjusts the visibility of the Background Image layer, which contains the original floor plan image. Lowering opacity makes it easier to see areas, fixtures, and other layers above it.
