Navigation in the CAD viewer

Opening the CAD Viewer

If an SVG graphic is available for a building, a floor, or rooms, the SVG can be opened by clicking the icon.

If the CAD viewer is opened at the building level and multiple floor plans are available for the building, all floors are listed in the viewer above the navigation bar. This allows you to switch between the floor plans.

Navigation tabs for building levels: Basement, Ground Floor, 1st-4th Floors. Dropdown menu and view controls visible.

Above the SVG window, several functions for navigating the SVG are available, which are described in more detail below.
