Working with text in Rayon

Here is all you need to know about using text and working with text styling.

Creating text

The Text tool can be found in the toolbar annotation menu (see below). Once created, a text box can...

• Have its style edited, in the right-side panel.

• Be edited by double-clicking on it. The text panel that appears offers a few options.

Text styling & fonts

In the right-side panel, the style properties of a text can be edited. The font can be changed, as well as its styling. At the same time, the alignment and baseline properties of the text paragraph can be adjusted from the same panel.

Another way to edit text styling is to double-click on the text box, select some text, and apply any style change from the floating option bar. Inside this bar, most text styling options can be found: italic, bold, underline. Text can also be formatted as a list using the list option.

Hyperlinks

Rayon offers the option to add hyperlinks inside models. Once added, the user will be redirected to the underlying link on click. The option to add hyperlinks can be found inside the floating option bar.

Tip — A useful feature with hyperlinks is to redirect to another position in the same model, rather than sending to an external reference. To do so, simply place your window on the position in a model you would like the user to be redirected to, adjust the zoom level, then copy the model URL and paste it inside the URL slot. Upon clicking on the link, the user will be redirected immediately to that position (with the correct zoom level), without any window refresh being triggered.

Using properties

Another useful feature in text boxes is the ability to display property values inline. Press the slash key (/) and start typing a property name to search the available options, or browse the property dropdown and select the one you want to display.

Text overrides

Text content can be overridden per instance when working inside a block or a view. Enter override mode and select a text element to change its content for that context only, without affecting the original. This is useful for blocks that share the same geometry but need different labels, such as room names or furniture tags.
