Getting Started with Digital Sanborn Maps The Sanborn Map Search Engine is available at several Dell PCs on the first and second floors of the Brooklyn campus Library. Look for the orange cone that says “Sanborn Maps Here!”

Double click on the Sanborn Maps icon “Map Search Engine” on the desktop:

Finding Maps 1) Select a Location (Brooklyn or Manhattan_Landbook) from the pull-down menu at the top of the page. 2) Enter the address you wish to search for. Enter number, street name and street type separately and use

the dropdown menus for best results.

OR

3) If you already know the volume and sheet number or the block number of the map you want, click the

radio button to change the default and enter your search criteria.

4) Click the button in the File Name column to view a map. The Map will open automatically with the FastStone image viewer.

Viewing Maps To view a control bar with the image viewer’s major functions, move your mouse pointer to the bottom border of the screen:

Mousing over this control bar will enable you to zoom in and out on the image using the mouse wheel. Once you have zoomed in, click and hold down the left mouse button to navigate by dragging the image. To view a thumbnail browser providing access to other map images in the same folder (i.e. Brooklyn or Manhattan_Landbook), move your mouse pointer to the top border of the screen. To view the Windows task bar or switch to other programs being run, move your mouse pointer to the right-bottom corner. Press and hold the left mouse button to view the image with a magnifier. With the left mouse button held down, move the mouse to move the magnifier across the image.

Cropping Maps To crop an image:

1) Click on the pan/select icon in the bottom menu. 2) Choose the shape you want to crop with. 3) Ctrl-click and drag the mouse to make your selection. 4) Right click to crop, save or print the selected area, or Press Ctrl-Z to undo your selection.

Saving Maps To save an image to the desktop:

1) Click the save icon in the bottom menu. 2) A “Save As” dialog box will appear on the screen. 3) Click on Desktop. 4) Name your document. 5) Select a format using the dropdown menu. 6) Click Save.

Printing Maps

To print an image, click the printer icon in the bottom menu.

Finding the Map Key To find the map key, mouse up to top of the screen to view the thumbnail browser and scroll to the left. The map key will be on one of the first map images. Select and zoom in to view the key.

Additional Image Viewers There are additional image viewers on each side of the screen. If you mouse over the viewer on the left, you will get detailed information about the image. Move your mouse pointer over the right side of the screen to bring up a simple image editor. From this image editor you can save the image, resize and zoom. We do not recommend that you use this image editor’s other features as it is not reliable; instead save the image and use Photoshop or your favorite image editor.

T he coding for framing, floor and roof structural units as shown aboveis used in describing the construction of fire-resistive buildings. In addi-tion, reports for fire-resistive buildings will show the date built and wallconstruction when other than brick.

FP buildings have masonry floors and roof; concrete and/or directly orindirectly protected steel framing; and clay brick, stone or poured con-crete walls.

FPX buildings are FP buildings with inferior walls such as concreteblock, cement brick, metal or glass panels, etc.

N C buildings have unprotected steel framing and fire-resistive but non-masonry floors and roof.
