Annotations with more detailed information for a Feature can be opened by right-clicking on a feature marker in the 3D viewer and selecting a characteristic from the menu. One or more Feature characteristic may be available depending on the feature type selected. The annotation popups can be dragged into a different position in the viewer area. Zooming in or out on the model also zooms the chart annotation.
Annotation Style
The appearance of the annotations is determined by the current Annotation Set. To see a different style of annotation, change to another annotation set.
See the topic Annotation Sets for more information.
