The **Extract** tool can be used to get polygon annotations for boundaries or building footprints.

* Click on the ![](/files/vKqAJbgA6ji6gThGfNmO)**Extract** tool in the toolbar
* As you move your cursor over the map, different boundary options will highlight based on your current zoom level
* Click on a highlighted boundary or add many by holding **`Shift`** to draw a selection area to extract as a new polygon annotations(s)

### Zoom level and boundary types

The Extract tool is zoom-sensitive, offering different boundary options based on how far you've zoomed in:

* **Zoomed out**: Country and large administrative areas
* **Medium zoom**: States, provinces, counties
* **Zoomed in**: Cities and neighborhoods
* **Highly zoomed in**: Building footprints

You can see the level that you are at as you zoom the map
