In the Default View of the 3D model or with no existing view selected, adding 3D
measurements creates a new view in the View pane of the Model Tree, with the
default name of “MeasurementView[n]”. You can double-click the view name to
rename it. The 3D measurement will be listed under the created view (as a child
of the view), named “Measurement1”, “Measurement2”, and so on.
If the 3D measurement is added to an existing view, the 3D measurement will be
listed under that view.
4. (Optional) Clicking on the result information highlights it, and the icon (four-
way arrow) appears. By dragging the icon, you can adjust the location of the result
information.
5. (Optional) To delete a 3D measurement, right-click it in the View pane of the Model
Tree and choose Delete.
Note:
1. 3D measurements added to a 3D model are associated with the corresponding
views. The measurements associated with a view will be invisible once you switch to
another view, but will show again when you switch back to the view. However, if you
delete a view, the associated 3D measurements will also be removed.
2. You can press the Esc key to exit the 3D Measurement mode and return to the last
selected navigation mode (such as Rotate) at any time as you measure the 3D model.
Comment on a 3D model
Add a 3D comment to a 3D model
You can use the Add 3D Comment tool to add a 3D comment to a particular part of a
3D model, for example, to provide the coordinate information or the name of the part.
A 3D comment contains a text box and a connector line that connects the text box and
the part of the 3D model you want to comment on.
1. On the 3D toolbar (or after right-clicking the 3D model and choosing Tools), select
Add 3D Comment. The cursor changes into a Cross automatically.
2. Put the cursor over the desired position you want to comment on and click. Then
move the cursor and click again to set the location of the text box.
