- Follow the steps to crop the image and set your scale.
- You can also choose to replace the floor plan with a Satellite image, or with a blank floor plan using the Quickstart option.
Note: If Elements are already placed on your Survey, you may need to adjust them to the correct locations after replacing your floor plan.
