I'm guessing that your buildings layer is polygons and the manholes layer  
is points. The zoom function looks at the size of the polygon and sets the  
zoom scale accordingly, but points have no size so there is a minimum zoom  
scale specified in the AJAX viewer code. This definition "var minScale =  
0.001, maxScale = 1000000000000;" is in the  
WebServerExtensions/www/viewerfiles/ajaxmappane.templ file. You can  
override that value in your own JavaScript code, or just modify it in the  
template file (but remember that it will affect all layers in all maps,  
and that file will be overwritten when you upgrade MapGuide to the next  
release).
