Select a layer on the Map Configuration preview and edit it.

## Vorbereitungen

Layers are the shapes or geometries in your CAD file.

Role required: sn_map_core.map_admin

## Prozedur

1. Select the Map Configuration Tab.  
   The Map Configuration preview page is brought into focus.
2. Expand Layers by selecting the chevron toggle icon (![Expand Layers icon.]()).
3. Select Layers to select a layer.
4. Select Edit.  
   The edit panel appears.  
   Hinweis:  
   Use for floor surface area calculation option is not available for selection after it's enabled for a layer. For more information, see [Compute Autocad floor surface area](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/9MBgxOiz8yhyAYRxR7uqXg "Compute floor size area and dimensions in Indoor Mapping Map Studio while importing your AutoCAD floor sources.").

   <br />

   The selected layer shows the layer name along with the number of elements in it. For example: Logo (1442 elements)

   The summary pill shows summarized information for a layer configuration. The summary pill summarizes information in the following colors based on the layer configuration and layer state:
   * Neutral blue: Indicates the type of item selected. For example, Text or Block.
   * Green: Indicates that the place configuration is correct for a selected place.
   * Orange: Indicates minor configuration issues.
   * Grey: Indicates layers that are not imported.
   * Red: Indicates blocking errors.

5. Select Import to import the elements in a layer on your CAD file.  
   A validation message is displayed: Configuration saved successfully
6. Select Do not Import when you don't want to import a layer configuration to your CAD file.  
   A validation message is displayed: Configuration saved successfully  
   The selected layer elements are displayed on the Map configuration preview panel based on your selection.  

7. Resolve a missing layer type (highlighted in red in the summary pill) by selecting a layer type from the Select layer type options.  

   <br />

   The missing layer type is resolved and the summary pill shows the Layer type highlighted in green. The Map Configuration preview shows the missing layer type with the newly assigned layer type.  
   Hinweis:  
   Layer types render on a map with default styles. If layer type is missing, elements will appear with a red default style.

   Layer type categorizes and applies a style to a layer from the Indoor mapping Layer
   types table (AllIndoor MappingLayer Types)
8. To change a layer type from the current type to another, select the Select the Layer type option.  
   For example, if your current Layer type is Room and you select Building from the list to change a layer type. The newly selected layer type along with its style and categories are applied.
9. After making the changes, select Close to close the edit panel.
10. Repeat the steps for the layers that you want to import to your CAD source file.
