Annotation tools

The "Annotations" section of the main toolbar contains the following options:

These options allow you to enhance the model’s graphical documents by adding drawing elements such as text labels, dimensions and measurements.

The following list describes how each of the annotation tools works:

	Elevation	Inserts a dimension between two points. You must specify the "Colour", the line "Thickness" and the "Size" of the dimension text.
	Line	Draws a line or segment between two points. You must specify the line's "Colour" and "Thickness".
	Text	Adds a text label to mark a point. Enter the desired text and specify the "Colour", "Line thickness" and "Text size".
	Text box	Inserts a separate text box. Enter the text you want, specify the text’s “Colour” and “Size”, and indicate whether you want to add a “Border” and/or a “Filled background” in a specific colour.
	Arc	Draws an arc, either specifying the radius or not. You must specify the "Colour", the line "Thickness" and the "Size" of the text for the radius.
	Circle	Draws a circle, either without dimensions, with a dimensioned radius, or with a dimensioned diameter. You must specify the "Colour", the "Line weight" and the "Size" of the dimension text.
	Rectangle	Draws a rectangle. The "Show area" option allows you to add text containing this information. You must specify the "Colour", the line "Thickness" and the "Size" of the area text.
	Area	Draws a free-form polygonal area. The "Show area" option allows you to add text containing this information. You must specify the "Colour", "Line thickness" and "Size" of the area text.
	Polyline	Draws a free-form polyline. You must specify the line "Colour" and "Thickness".

In addition, the following editing tools are available for annotations:

	Edition	Allows you to select an annotation and edit its parametric properties.
	Delete	This allows you to delete one or more entries.
	Move	Allows you to move a group of entries.
	Assign	This allows you to apply the properties of the selected annotation to other annotations that have already been entered. The programme highlights annotations that already have the same properties in orange, and those that do not in yellow.

To ensure that annotations are positioned accurately, you can use the object reference and template snap options, thereby ensuring they are correctly aligned with the building components.

In the "View" panel, located on the left-hand side, you can show or hide all annotations added to the model.
