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 allow you to mark a surface area, give a tag to a room, provide information, and more.

The tools can be found on the bottom toolbar:

---

Text

• In the toolbar, select the Text tool.

• Click on the canvas to insert the text box.

• In the Properties sider, in Text, you can edit the text and its alignment in the box.

• Finally, you can change text style (font, size, and color). To do so, select the text. On the Properties panel, click on the Ab button.

• Click the + button to create a new style. Now you can:

  • Select a color

  • Select a font

  • Select a size

Tag

• In the toolbar, select the Tag tool.

• In the canvas, select the edge of a Path you want to assign the tag to.

• In the Properties sider, in Text, you can edit the tag’s text.

• Using the {surface} syntax, you can add the area of the path to the tag.

• Finally, you can change the text style in the right properties sidebar. There, you can modify the color, font, and size.

Annotations

• In the bottom toolbar, select the Arrow tool.

• Draw an arrow on the canvas.

• Click on the arrow and then on the right-side styles panel to set the arrow's color, line width, and shape on one or both ends.
