The 3D Map item is used to display a :ref:`3D map view <label_3dmapview>`.
Use the 
:guilabel:`Add 3D Map` button, and follow
:ref:`items creation instructions <create_layout_item>` to add a new
3D Map item that you can later manipulate the same way as demonstrated
in :ref:`interact_layout_item`.
By default, a new 3D Map item is empty. You can set the properties of the 3D view and customize it in the :guilabel:`Item Properties` panel. In addition to the :ref:`common properties <item_common_properties>`, this feature has the following functionalities (:numref:`figure_layout_3dmap_prop`):
3D Map Item Properties
Press :guilabel:`Copy Settings from a 3D View...` to choose the 3D map view to display.
The 3D map view is rendered with its current configuration (layers, terrain, lights, camera position and angle...).
- :guilabel:`Center X` sets the X coordinate of the point the camera is pointing at
- :guilabel:`Center Y` sets the Y coordinate of the point the camera is pointing at
- :guilabel:`Center Z` sets the Z coordinate of the point the camera is pointing at
- :guilabel:`Distance` sets the distance from the camera center to the point the camera is pointing at
- :guilabel:`Pitch` sets the rotation of the camera around the X-axis (vertical rotation). Values from 0 to 360 (degrees). 0°: terrain seen straight from above; 90°: horizontal (from the side); 180°: straight from below; 270°: horizontal, upside down; 360°: straight from above.
- :guilabel:`Heading` sets the rotation of the camera around the Y-axis (horizontal rotation - 0 to 360 degrees). 0°/360°: north; 90°: west; 180°: south; 270°: east.
The :guilabel:`Set from a 3D View...` pull-down menu lets you populate the items with the parameters of a 3D View.
