6.1.2 Markups

Add Markups to Presentation Slides

How to create and overlay visual information (Markups) such as measurements and text call outs to slides.

Summary

• A markup is visual information added to the captured view angle to create a presentation slide
• Markup options are available while editing a presentation slide
• To create markups, go to the Presentation & Markup tool from the bottom or top toolbar; then:

1. To edit an existing slide:

• Click an existing or default slide to see right side menu appear and bottom toolbar change
• Or, click the three dots on the slide, then Edit Slide

2. To add a new slide:

• Click +Add Slides,
• Or, click the three dots on an existing/default slide and select Add Slide or Duplicate
• Note: Adding a slide will capture and set the current view angle for the slide

Markup Items

• While editing a slide, click one of the review functions, mentioned below, to add it to the slide
• Each markup will be added and editable under Slide Items on the right side menu
• The capture angle will also appear under the slide items and should be set prior to adding markups
• It is possible to add multiple slide items to a singular slide

Minimum Distance - Measure the absolute minimum distance between two selected surfaces/objects

Measure Distance - Measure the distance between two selected points

Custom Section - Create section cut of the site and building based on a selected plane

Sea Level Elevation - Measure the sea level elevation of a point on the map, excavation, or object

Callouts - Create a text box callout out to appear

• Click an object in the 3D viewer to place the callout position and pointer
• Type text to appear on the callout
• Check 'Add a clickable link' to attach a link for viewers to click during the presentation
• Customize the callout border and leader color
• Edit the size of the callout by adjusting the font and scale
• Adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the callout to optimize location based on the captured angle
• Hint: Horizontal Position = 0 will place the box to be directly vertical of the point and leader
• Click: Go to Default to reset - 100 V x 150 H
• Select the callout view mode
• Parallel to Screen (default) - will show the callout always parallel to the view angle
• Parallel to Plane - show and fix the callout parallel to the x, y, or z plane
• Set the behavior of the callout upon zooming or adjusting FOV angle from Settings
• Fixed screen size is recommended
• Adjust the size of the pointer sphere radius
• Click Done to confirm

Editing Markup Items

• Only callouts can be edited post hoc
• From the markup item list, click the three dots on the item or right-click to see the edit options
• Remove will delete the markup
• Alternatively, double click the callout in the 3D viewer to open the edit menu or right-click all other callouts
