How to use Inkscape SVG for Nova Sofala
- Inkscape (free) — open the .svg and bring up the layers panel: unwanted layers hide with a single click, and the ones you need stay visible.
- Recoloring a whole layer — select the layer, Edit → Select All in Layer, then set the fill: that is how all the water or all the buildings change at once.
- Printing — File → Document Properties sets the sheet size; exporting to PDF from Inkscape keeps the vectors and the line quality.

FAQ: Inkscape SVG for Nova Sofala
How does this differ from plain SVG?
Structurally it is valid SVG, but the map layers are tagged with inkscape:groupmode="layer" and inkscape:label, so in Inkscape they appear immediately in the Layers panel as named layers.
Will the layers survive in Illustrator?
Illustrator does not understand inkscape:groupmode and will show layers as ordinary groups. For a clean handoff to Illustrator/browser you can resave from Inkscape as Plain SVG.
Does the file contain street labels?
No. Geometry is exported per layer with color; text labels are not added, keeping the layers clean for editing.
How do I remove the layers I don't need?
In the Inkscape layers panel it is enough to click the eye icon to hide a layer, or to delete it entirely from the context menu. That is how a map quickly becomes a diagram with roads only or buildings only.
Will the file open in a browser?
Yes, this is valid SVG: it will open in any browser and sit correctly on a web page. The browser simply ignores the Inkscape service attributes.
