The top view of each layer includes the background image on which all elements of the next layer are displayed. For example, the rooms are displayed as the top view for floors. For background images, raster formats (.jpeg, .png etc.) and vector formats (AutoCAD, .dwg, .svg) are supported.

You can use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out of the screen and press and drag the mouse wheel to move the map around.

If you want to add objects in the top view, select the corresponding option from the context menu.

In Pathfinder the infrastructure will be visualized in a top view perspective. This perspective contains four layers: location, building, floor and room.

You can provide a background image (e.g. a floor plan) for each layer, as well as a scaling factor, so you are able to work true to scale.

The top view of each layer includes the background image on which all elements of the next layer are marked (e.g. the rooms are marked in the top view of a floor).

Use the mouse wheel for zooming and press the mouse wheel to change the field of view.

If you want to add objects in the top view, select the corresponding option in the context menu.

If you want to insert a background image, select Background→Load in the context menu. E.g. floor plans or map segments qualify as background images. Raster formats (.jpeg, .png etc.) and  vector formats (AutoCAD, .dwg, .svg) are supported.

Decide, whether you want to upload a file directly into Pathfinder, or just link to an existing file. If you choose to do the latter, changes made to the linked file will also be visible in Pathfinder.

Depending on the file format you can adjust the properties (Transparency, visible layers etc.) in Options.

The Design mode can also be accessed via the context menu.

Here you can edit an object's size and position. Via right click on a tray you can add waypoints for a more tidy arrangement or use Layout to customize its visualization.

View & Format and Layout in the context menu allow further changes to an object's visualization (color, font, transparency etc.). Use Define scale to be able to work true to scale, by defining a scaling factor or specifying the length of a known distance.
