To navigate between maps quickly, you can designate two or more maps as floors of the same building.
Before you begin
What you should know
Each floor is linked to all other floors in the same building. You can navigate between floor maps by pressing the button for the floor you want to see. If an area is included in multiple buildings, like a shared parking lot, then the floor controls can be used to navigate between buildings.
If the floor maps are georeferenced, the map view stays on the same part of the map when navigating between floors. Press and hold the Ctrl key while changing floors to restore the default view.
