# Map interface

### Displaying models

#### Controls

Moving on the interface is done by using mouse. Holding down left mouse button it is possible to move around the map by dragging. Single click of left mouse button is used to select objects.

Mouse wheel is used for zooming in and out, double clicking will zoom extent on the active models.

Clicking right mouse button has three functions: create a marking, open a 3d viewer and Zoom to all models.

#### Models

Models are opened to the map interface by checking the box next to the wanted files. The project must have a coordinate reference system assigned to it from Project Configuration to be able to display files.

Once models are opened, user can view them and check the metadata within object.

By right clicking the map interface user can open the visible models directly to 3d Viewer.&#x20;

#### Possible errors

Supported file formats sometimes contain data which cannot be displayed on map. User is informed with an exclamation mark in front of the model.

User might face unlikely errors when opening files, usually this due to the LandXML being against the schema.

Currently there is a file size limit of 100 mb, if the file exceeds that, it won’t processed nor displayed. Please contact your local Site Management supplier if you are facing issues with the file size limit.

### Functionalities

There are some functionalities hidden in the map, which can be used by clicking different types of objects.

#### Hide models

Clicking an element on the map opens a dialog. In the dialog Hide models -functionalities removes the selected model in the active map view. Making it easy to hide models from the map, instead of searching these from the folder structure.&#x20;

#### Alignment tools

If there is a LandXML alignment visible on the map, clicking it gives multiple options:

* **Zoom to station** enables to search the wanted station on the alignment and automatically zoom to it.
* **Cross section** and **Long section** make it faster to create a section based on this alignment

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.besmart.software/be.smart-site-management/site-management/project-interface/map-interface.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
