After enabling 3D mode, you can adjust the pitch and rotation angles. The keyboard shortcuts are as follows:

① Middle mouse button: Adjusts the pitch and rotation angles.

② Shift + Up: Decreases the pitch angle; Shift + Down: Increases the pitch angle.

③ Shift + Left: Rotates counter-clockwise, increasing the angle in the negative direction; Shift + Right: Rotates clockwise, increasing the angle in the positive direction.

④ Scroll the mouse wheel to adjust the eye altitude.

In 3D mode, a small operation panel appears in the upper right corner of the map window. You can also use this widget to adjust the tilt and rotation angles.

By clicking the wps2 button in the middle, you can go to the [3D Settings] dialog box, where you can set the parameters such as graphics mode, map zoom ratio, terrain contrast, and overview window map.

To achieve optimal 3D display effect, we recommend that you set the terrain contrast to 2x, 2.5x, or 3x.

2. Mobile device

On the main UI, tap the button and select the map you want to view.

Then, tap the [3D] button on the main UI. On the 3D settings page, select [3D] to enable 3D mode and set the parameters as needed.

To achieve optimal 3D display effect, we recommend that you set the terrain contrast to 2x, 2.5x, or 3x.

On the map, swipe up and down with two fingers to adjust the pitch angle, rotate with two fingers to adjust the rotation angle, double-tap with one finger to zoom in on the map, and single-tap with two fingers to zoom out on the map.

You can also enable the operation panel on the 3D settings page. Turn on the 3D Edit Panel [Rotation Angle] and 3D Edit Panel [Pitch Angle] switches. Then, the operation panel is displayed on the map.

You can tap the [↑] and [↓] buttons to adjust the pitch angle, and tap the [←] and [→] buttons to adjust the rotation angle.
