Zooming and Panning
  • You can zoom in on any area that interests you by double clicking on an open space (not an area with text), or by using the scroll bar at the bottom of the screen.
  • You can also zoom in and out by using the scroll wheel on your mouse.
  • A good place to start would be the operations area in the lower left quarter of the screen.
  • Once zoomed in, you can move around the office by clicking and dragging on an open space.




Exploring Hotspots
  • The “hotspots” (the boxes with text in them) indicate items of interest around the office.
  • You can find out more about each of these items by holding your mouse over the hotspot.
  • A few of the hotspots even link to short video presentations or to another webpage by clicking on the hotspot itself.




More Hotspots
  • There is also a Hotspots finder located at the top right corner of the image.
  • Click on the Down Arrow and select the desired Hotspot.
  • It will then take you to the desired Hotspot and zoom in on the location.
