Annotations are information points or labels on a 3D object. In this article you will learn how to add annotations.

Annotations are labeled points on a 3D model that you can use, for example, to highlight the main features of your product. Annotations are also helpful for marking components. They can also be linked, for example to order spare parts directly.

 

Add annotations only (without categorization)

1. Click on Add annotation. Now the button turns red.

5. When you click on the camera icon, the current view of the 3D model will be saved. This view will then be taken automatically when users click on the annotation in the 3D Product Viewer. You can test this via the preview.
