Add a new feature layer

SiteRecon Features

Once you've approved a property, you may find it necessary to add a new layer. This is a common step in the process of enhancing your SiteRecon project.
Click on the + button.
Select the SiteRecon Feature you want to add from the feature library.
The Add Layer button adds an empty layer to the current view. You can start drawing on this layer using Editing Tools.
