When you open a 3D Map window, the 3D Controls palette appears; use it to explore the map.

In/Out Buttons: Used to zoom in and out on the map.

• Press Shift and click In or Out to rapidly increase the amount of zooming.
• Hold on the In or Out button for a continuous zoom.
• Zooming in does not increase the details on the Site layer when you zoom in; for a more detailed map return to the 2D Atlas tab and select a smaller area.
