# Adding Levels to a SiteMap

## SiteMap Levels

When a project asset consists of a complex 3D space with many floors (levels) or areas of interest (rooms, corridors, groups of rooms, etc.), navigation can be improved by using the SiteMap Levels feature to create a customised visual orientation guide of the space.

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for creating sub-areas of an asset using the Levels SiteMap feature. Levels act as both a filter and a navigation aid.

> [!NOTE]
> **Levels from LGSx SiteMaps.** For LGSx files with no point cloud (for example, TruView Cloud or TruView Enterprise migrations), the SiteMaps created in Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS are imported as Levels automatically — each SiteMap becomes a Level with its floorplan shown in the minimap. This applies to new uploads; re-upload an existing point-cloud-less asset to get it.

> [!NOTE]
> **SiteMaps that contain hyperlinks aren't supported.** If a migrated LGSx includes a SiteMap with [hyperlinks](/v1/docs/cyclone-register-360-sitemap-hyperlinks), GeoCloud can't create a Level from it and the Levels panel stays empty for that asset.

Add new level

### Adding new levels

1. On the left navigation bar, find the **“Levels”** tab. Initiate the **“Add Level”** command to create your first level.

Add Level tab
2. While in the **“Add Level”** mode,
  1. In the left menu’s “Create level” form, **enter a name** for the first level being created (1).
  2. **Define the Level’s area** by indicating its bounding limits in either:
    1. The left menu’s form fields for **Height and Z-axis position** (2)
    2. Or, the familiar **Limit Box controls** at the bottom of the 3D canvas (4).
3. When the first Level (or area of interest) is defined, **click either**
  1. **“Save”** (3) to save and exit the level creation mode
  2. Or, **“Save and create new”** (3) to save the currently defined Level and automatically advance to the next level.
    1. When choosing “Save and create new”, the UI will automatically create a new Level. The new Level will be the same height as the previous Level and placed directly on top of it.
    2. **Repeat steps 2.a. through 3.a. or 3.b. as needed.**

Edit level options

#### Edit level dimensions and position

To edit a Level’s defined area (i.e., its dimensions) and/or its position in the asset,

1. **Navigate to the Level list** via the left menu
2. **Click the “Options” menu** icon (1)
3. The Options menu will offer the following: Edit, Delete or Locate in view.
  1. **Click on “Edit”** (2) to open Level edit mode
  2. **Change the Level properties as needed** using the Height and Z-axis position tools in the left menu, or manually adjust the values and position using the Limit Box controls.

#### Reorder levels

If needed, users can re-arrange the order of Levels.

1. **Navigate to the Level list** via the left menu
2. Drag the handle icon (3) on the left of the Level tile to drag it up or down into the correctly ordered position.

### Navigation

- To navigate through the Levels, select one level from the left menu’s Level tab (1) or from the Level Selector list (2) in the 3D canvas' navigation tools group (bottom right).
- When a level is selected, the SiteMap is updated to show:
  - Only the silhouetted point cloud within the defined Level
  - Only the Setups positions within the defined Level
- To display all levels, click “**Display all levels**” in the Levels menu (1) or select “**All levels**” from the Level Selector list (2).
- In the Levels menu bar, **Search** (3) can help filter the Levels list and locate a needed level.

> [!NOTE]
> Note: Levels can be defined by any rectangular limit box shape, including corridors, rooms or multiple rooms as a sub-division of a level, or vertical spaces like elevator shafts and stairwells.
