Annotations
An annotation is a project item that defines a 3D point annotation complemented by different properties below explained.
- Annotation ID: code to exactly identify the item in the project
- Annotation Name
- X, Y, Z coordinates of the annotation position in the current UCS
- Color mapped layer: current mapped color layer name
- Value: value of the color mapped layer (one value for scalar color layers, 3 RGB components for not scalar layers)
- Comment: notes at the point
- Hyperlink: hyperlink set to a local files or another project's item (interesting feature to add meta-information to your 3D scene from e.g. the web)
- Color ID: color ID of the item annotation
Annotations are stored in form of point collections. Therefore, they don't have a pose matrix like all the other project entities and cannot be moved or rotated through Manual positioning or the Pose dialog.
Annotations can be converted to Points or Targets items through the contextual menu, after selecting them in the Project Window. It is also possible to do the reverse.
