Step 5.  Set the Maximum Extents of your Network using the Data Frame Tab in Data Frame Properties.  Step 6.  You can also set the background color for the area outside of the clipped Base Map if you so desire using the Frame Tab.    Step 7.  You now can add nodes and links and view the locale using Google Street View or other using the Tools Preferences.    via Blogger http://www.swmm5.net/2013/08/how-to-use-bing-maps-in-infoswmm-as.html
