Adding notes/Mark ups to a specific point

Post by systo »

Hi,

I have been wondering whether I could give additional notes/mark ups to a special area in the point cloud. Meaning that I have a point cloud about an inner room with a table inside. I would like to pick a point of the ´table´ and add a self-specified note, like ´ it has been bough from the IKEA´. (The Autodesk ReCap has this function.)

I have already tried the point picking/point list picking tool but unfortonatly I have not figured out how I could do vary/add the information of these points. Any idea?

Kind regards

If you create a label (with 'Shift + left click' on a point, or with the Point picking tool but you need to 'save' the label afterwards), then you can select it and rename the corresponding entry in the database.

To rename an entity, simply double click on its name, or press F2:

You can even collapse the label (with a right click on it). And you can change the color and the font size in the display options.
