Google 3D Tile Display Settings
Google 3D Tile maps extend far into the horizon, with reduced quality outside of the project site. There are settings to deactivate, darken or delineate between the extended map and project site. These settings are available separately for site plan edit mode and presentation mode.
- In Settings (1) deactivating Extended Map Display (2) will hide the area surrounding your project site.
- In Settings (1) use the slider (3) to Darken the Extended Map to help focus attention on the project site. A lower value = lighter, while a higher value = a darker, more subdued extended map.
- In Settings (1) users will find an option to Display the Map Boundary Line (4) that separates the work site from the extended map area. Displaying the boundary helps focus attention on the project site.
