Point of view
A default viewpoint is created when the map is created. This is a pre-set position of the camera, which will be used when the map is opened.
By default, it is positioned vertically from the center of the map.
To change it, you have to position the camera in the desired angle, then from the Viewpoints menu, click on the floppy disk to save the new viewpoint.
Floors
It is possible to add and remove floors outside of the map builder.
Add a floor
To add a floor, tap the + and fill in the name of the floor.
To change its position in the list, use the arrows at the end of the line.

Once empty, you have to click on the wrench of the corresponding floor to select it, then press the "Delete" key and confirm.
