Top-Down View

The Top-Down view provides an overhead view of your landscape design, which is best for adding new objects and making precise movements. To select the Top-Down view, click the Top-Down tab that is located to the lower left of the screen.

Both the Top-Down and Perspective views are linked, so when you adjust one, the other will follow. For example, if you zoom into an object in the top-down view and then switch to perspective, the object will still be visible.
