Zoom Window
Click this button and drag the pointer to define a rectangular area to scale and center on.
Zoom All
Scale and focus automatically to display all map objects in single view.
Edit Layers
Open the Layers dialog for quick access to layers manipulations.
Center to Point
Select a point through Select Points From List dialog for centering the plot.

Switch to 2D/3D
Switch the view of the map between 3D and 2D mode.
Manage 3D Models
Open the 3D Models dialog. If the icon is not displayed by default, you can add it by customizing the toolbar through Map Properties dialog.

When the 3D View is selected, an additional toolbar with more command buttons is displayed:

Top View
The observer is located above the objects, looking perpendicular to the horizontal plane.
Perspective View
The observer is located in front of the objects and above them, the gaze direction is free.
Pan mode
Move the map by dragging the pointer in any direction while preserving scale and orientation. Perspective correction still applies while working in 3D View with Perspective View activated.
Rotate
Rotate the map around center when:
  • the Top View is selected, objects will be rotated in the horizontal plane;
  • the Perspective View is selected, objects will be rotated in the vertical and horizontal planes. The value of the rotation angle in the vertical plane is in the range from 0 to 90 degrees.
Vertical scaling
Change the vertical scale of all shown objects in the 3D view. Click the icon to activate and drag the pointer vertically up to increase or down to decrease the vertical scale.
