Search

Last updated: 20 October 2026 17:44 BST

Search provides a fast way to navigate to locations within a project and gives quick access to recent searches and bookmarks. It makes finding addresses, postcodes, areas or landmarks straightforward without leaving the main workspace.

Opening and using the search panel

  1. Click the search icon in the global bar to open the search panel. If recent searches or bookmarks exist, they appear automatically.
  2. Start typing to display matching results. The list updates dynamically to show the most relevant options based on past interactions.
  3. Select a result to move the view to the chosen location. Its label is briefly displayed to confirm the selection.

Managing bookmarks

  1. Click the star icon next to any result to save it as a bookmark.
  2. Click the bookmarks folder within the panel to view and manage all saved locations.
Differences and similarities with the legacy 3D app
  • The previous search appeared as a pop-up in the centre of the screen and required expanding categories to see results.
  • The new search is integrated into the global bar and slides out from the menu.
  • Recent searches and bookmarks are now displayed together within a single panel.
