Map editing

Rapidly place a batch of points

For editors Updated 28 September 2026

Where

Map then Add points then Rapid place points

Place many unplaced records in sequence without repeatedly opening the list.

Steps

  1. Create or import the records first.
  2. Choose the target background and open Add points.
  3. Choose Rapid place points.
  4. Read the next-record cursor label and click each intended position.
  5. Use right-click or Skip to leave a record unplaced; choose Stop or press Escape to finish.
  6. Wait for the saving indicator to finish, review the placements and publish.

Expected result

Records are placed in Points table order. Skipped records remain available in the unplaced list.

Tips and limits

Rapid placement creates point markers, not polygons. It works on image, GLB and Google backgrounds. Pending layout saves are combined to avoid the former long queue. Keep the editor open while changes are still saving; there is no guaranteed timing for every network or model.

Effect on the published viewer

All placements remain draft until published.
