The Map Controls on the right side of the map screen help you navigate around your project and manage what information is displayed. This makes it easier to work with large datasets and reduce screen clutter when multiple layers are visible.

The available controls vary depending on whether you are viewing a Plan View, Cross Section, Profile View, or the 3D Surface Viewer.

Plan View, Cross Section and Profile View Controls

Icon	Description
	Center on Current Position – Centers the map on your current GPS location.
	Zoom to Extents – Zooms the map to display the full extent of the loaded file.
	Box Zoom – Zoom to a user-defined area by drawing a box on the screen using your finger or stylus.
	Zoom In – Increases the map zoom level.
	Zoom Out – Decreases the map zoom level.
	Map Layer Visibility – Opens the layer visibility window, where you can search for layers and toggle them on or off. A preview window allows you to review visibility changes before applying them. Available from Siteworks version 1.72 and later.
	Map Display Options – Customise the information shown on the map. Display only the layers and data relevant to your task to improve screen readability and reduce clutter.

Tip: Map Display Options can also be accessed from Home > Settings > Map Display Settings.

Touchscreen Navigation

When using a touchscreen controller, pinch-to-zoom is supported in:

• Plan View
• 3D View
• Cross Section View
• Profile View

3D Surface Viewer Controls

Icon	Description
	Center on Current Position – Centers the view on your current GPS location.
	Zoom to Extents – Displays the full extent of the selected surface file.
	3D Orbit – Rotate and explore the surface model by touching and dragging on the screen.
	Zoom – Select the zoom tool and swipe up to zoom in or down to zoom out.
	Surface Edge Display – Show or hide TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network) surface edges.
	Stakeout Flags – Show or hide stakeout flags within the model.
	Surface Selection – Open the Surface Selection menu to choose which surface is displayed in the 3D viewer.
	Map Display Options – Configure how information is displayed in the 3D viewer.

3D Display Settings

The Map Display Options button opens the 3D View settings by default, allowing you to:

• Adjust the vertical exaggeration of the surface model.
• Improve visualisation of site features and grade changes.
• Control the visibility of individual scans when working with point cloud datasets.

Note: Increasing vertical exaggeration can make subtle elevation changes easier to identify during site review and design validation.
