A note is a coloured patch on the plan with a piece of text in it: a remark for the client, an instruction for the fitter, a reminder to yourself. Draw one with Note: the arrow of Drawing Tools in the control bar opens the menu, where Note is among the Annotation Tools; then drag a rectangle on the plan. The Drawing Tools tab of the rail lists it too. A note is moved and resized on the plan. In 3D it shows as a marker whose bubble carries the text.

The Note panel

  1. How the text is drawn: its size, colour, weight, slant and alignment. The last button adds a link.
  2. What the note says, on as many lines as it needs.
  3. The patch behind the text. It can be made partly see-through, so the plan shows under it.
  4. With the switch on, the note is shown only between these two dates, both days included: for a remark that holds while the works last. Outside them it is hidden in 3D. The plan keeps showing it.
  5. The next note you draw starts with this text style and this background.
  6. Gives this style to every note in the project, on every level and in every version. It can be undone.
  7. A comment, a lock, a duplicate, a copy and a delete. The comment is a remark about the note for your team, and it is not printed on the plan. The ? in the header opens this page.
