Adding a Pin to the map

Sometimes it can be difficult to gauge the ideal size of the image you would like to use for a level map until you begin adding assets and pins to it. If you find that the map is too cramped you will need to resize the image file using editing software and then reload it into OfficeMaps. It is important to note that the objects you have already placed on a level map will not move or be changed as a result of an image change, so some repositioning will be required.

To move or delete an asset or pin, simply enter edit mode by clicking the pencil icon. Select the object and either drag it to its new position or click on the small bin icon next to the object to delete it from the map.

To change the details of an asset or a pin once it has been added to a map, simply select the object on the map. Details about the object will appear in the Desk Panel that appears. Click on the pencil in the Desk Panel to edit this object and the Stop button the accept the changes. The x button will cancel changes that are being made.
