Adding a 3D Label

3D Labels add a 3D rendering of the landscape from a particular viewpoint.

To add a 3D label to the plan view:

1.   Click Plan to switch to the plan view.

2.   Click Add 3D Label.

3.   Click to add points. Press Backspace to remove the last point. Press Esc to cancel. Right-click to add the last point.

4.   Enter the desired text and click OK.

5.   Click Edit points to enter point editing mode.

6.   Click the yellow dot over the camera to select it, and drag to move the camera to the desired location.

7.   Set the desired camera direction, angle, and elevation properties as needed for the desired viewpoint.

8.   Click Edit points again to leave point editing mode.

Note: To improve performance, the 3D rendering will only appear when the label is selected, and the rendering will be a low-quality preview. However, when printing the plan view (to a file or a printer), then a high-quality rendering will be used. To see how the rendering will appear when printed, click Preview.

A sample 3D label is shown below:

Tips:

•      Once a 3D label has been added, it can be easily changed. See Editing Points for more information.

•      This and other plan detail can only be added and edited in the plan view. See Adding Plan Detail for more information about plan detail objects.
