Text, Tags & Annotations
How to add written information onto the canvas 🔠
Adding text to your model can be essential at times.
Text, tags, and annotations (arrows and dimensions) allow you to mark an area, assign a tag to a room, and provide information. These tools can be found on the bottom toolbar!
Text
To create text:
In the toolbar, select the Text (TT) tool.
Click on the canvas to insert the text box.
Click in the text edition panel to re-write its content, set its alignment, or add variables (more about that below).
To edit the text style (font, size, and color), select the text and click on the 'Text Style' property in the right panel.
Tag
A Tag is similar to Text, except it can be tied to a geometry and display its properties (area, length, etc.). To create a Tag:
In the toolbar, select the Tag (TG) tool.
On the canvas, select the geometry you want to assign the tag to.
Click on the / (add variables) button in the text edition panel to call the property of that geometry.
Arrows & Dimensions
Both the
Arrow (AR)
and theDimension (DS)
tools can be found in the toolbar.Once created, both can be re-edited by using the
Edit (E)
command.Their styles can be found in the Properties panel, under Annotation.
