Keyboard shortcuts

🗺️ On a computer, most of what you do on the map has a key. Press it while the map has focus, with no text field selected and no Ctrl, Cmd or Alt held.

The map

  • C: switch between the 2D and 3D view.

  • D: center the view.

  • R and L: rotate right and left.

  • + and -: zoom in and out.

  • Up and Down arrows: go one floor up or down.

  • X: show or hide the area outlines that come with the 3D model.

  • Esc: step back out of whatever is open, one level at a time: an attachment, a placement banner, a detail card, a selection, a measurement, the select tool, then the floor.

The tools

  • H: the hand tool, for panning.

  • V: the select tool, for dragging a box around items. Space switches between the two.

  • M: move markers. Drag any marker to a new spot while it is active.

The pages

  • S: open the search.

  • I: open your Inbox.

  • P: open the Dashboard.

  • F: open the Files page.

While selecting items

  • Shift and click adds an item to the selection or removes it.

  • With the select tool, drag with Shift to toggle, Ctrl or Cmd and Shift to add, Alt and Shift to remove.

  • Ctrl+Z undoes the last change to the selection. Ctrl+Y, or Cmd+Shift+Z on a Mac, redoes it.

Good to know

  • The shortcuts work in the web app on a computer. On a phone the same actions sit under Layers and in the menus; see Navigating the mobile app.

  • The tooltip on a toolbar button shows its key.
