This page helps you create, view, and organize your map layers in Nova. We will cover how the Layer Panel is laid out, how to create and manage your layers, and where to find your assets and PDFs.
The Layer Panel is your one stop shop for your layers, assets, and PDFs, organized into three tabs: Layers, Assets, and PDFs. Expand or collapse the panel to maximize your map view. Collapse it when inspecting fine orthomosaic details or monitoring a live stream.
The Create button gives you access to all of your processing workflows and map layer generation tools.
The Create drop-down menu also includes shortcuts for creating points, lines, polygons, text boxes, comments, and uploads, as well as the Ruler.
Use the controls next to each layer to inspect base maps, point vectors, and high-resolution imagery.
Select the eye icon next to a layer to show or hide it on your map.
Select the lock icon to lock a layer in place so edits are not made to it. Locking also lets you select overlapping elements without accidentally moving them.
