### View only mode

Used for viewing the floor plan. In this mode, the *Colorize Paths* function is available, allowing you to verify the correct connections between paths and POIs.


### Edit mode

To make changes (i.e. create, modify, or delete navigation elements), you must switch to this mode.


### Layers

For better clarity, you can switch between layers in the top-right corner:

- *ALL* - includes both Zones (resources and areas) and Points & Paths
- *ZONES* - displays the shape and location of resources and areas
- *POINTS & PATHS* - displays navigation points and the connections between them through paths


### Opacity slider

Use the *opacity slider* in the bottom-right corner to adjust the visibility of the floor plan. Moving it to the right makes the image fully visible, while moving it to the left gradually fades it out.


### Zoom controls

Use the zoom controls (+/−) in the bottom-right corner or the mouse wheel to zoom in or out of the floor plan.


### Navigation elements toolbar

After switching to edit mode, a toolbar appears on the left. The individual buttons are used to create, edit, or delete navigation elements.

#### :navigationpoint: Navigation point

By clicking this icon you can create a new navigation point. 


#### :path: Navigation path

By clicking this icon you can create a new path.


#### :rectangle: Rectangle zone

By clicking this icon you can create a rectangle zone.


#### :polygonal: Polygonal zone

#### :circle: Circle zone

#### :edit: Edit

By clicking this icon you can edit selected elements.


#### :move: Move

#### :cutlayers: Cut layers

By clicking this icon you can remove selected elements from the floor plan. Draw a shape with the cursor around the elements you want to remove; all elements within the defined area will be deleted.


#### :rotate: Rotate 

By clicking this icon you can rotate a selected element (e.g. a resource or a path) around its pivot point. In the case of paths, only the connected segment is rotated.


#### :copyselection: Copy selection

By clicking this icon you can create a duplicate of the selected element (e.g. a resource or a connected segment of a path). The copy is placed directly on top of the original element, so no visible change occurs immediately. To reposition the copied element, use the *Move *function. Copying is only possible within the same floor plan.


#### :remove: Remove selection

By clicking this icon you can remove selected elements.


#### :setmapscale: Set map scale

By clicking this icon you can set the map ratio for the navigation.


#### :colorize: Colorize paths

By clicking this icon you can display all connection between navigation points. Connected points and paths are shown in the same color.
