Markup Manager

Toggle Visibility

Make sure Markup Manager is toggled on, then click on the circle symbol to activate the visibility of the specific markup.

Markup Manager Settings

In settings you can find options to control opacity levels of markups:

Enable markup opacity: if opacity is disabled, markups are always visible
Opacity threshold (min): if the camera is closer to the minimum value, the markups are more visible
Opacity threshold (max): if the camera is further up to the maximum value, the markups are more hidden
Opacity fading rate: the value represents the opacity relative to the camera zoom

If camera is between min & max, then markup has transparency that is a proportional to the distance. The closer to the markup, the more visible it becomes.

Insert Markup

After selecting Insert markup, a record will be created with the given timestamp name.

Now click on the viewport to select where you want to place the markup.

Click on the markup and position the connector with an offset. You can also pick a color from the palette if needed.

Properties

Select a markup record to view and edit its properties:

Name: When naming your Markup, give it a name that will make it easy to find.
Popup title: Set the title for the popup.
Popup content: Set the content for the popup.
Anchor point: Set the coordinates of the attachment point.
Offset: The amount of distance by which Anchor point is out of position.
Connector: Toggle whether to show the connector on the viewport.
Color: Give the markup any color from the palette.
Actions: Delete the markup.

Types of Markups

Selecting a type of markup allows you to decide what kind of visual indicator will be visible on the viewport and how it will describe key areas. You can pick from:

Bell

Custom Properties

With custom properties you can create fields and assign data for specific Markup.

You can choose from a variety of properties:

Text: Short text field.
Boolean: Toggle switch.
Date: Date field.
Rich Text: Long text field.
File: Upload any extension file.
Thumbnail: In 2D picture.
IoT: Connect IoT devices.

By using different custom properties you can create documentation for your factory.

Dynamic Properties

With custom properties, you can create dynamic values for specific markups.

First select an asset instance and go into its properties. Create a custom text property.

Create a markup and insert it onto that asset.

Click on the markup, copy and paste this formula into the markup's text property:

custom text {property("Asset Identifier", "Property Name")}

Select the asset again, find Asset Identifier in its properties and copy it to your clipboard.

Click on the markup and paste the Asset Identifier into the formula you pasted into the text field earlier. Your formula should look like this:

custom text {property("1f438e9ad96fb3a43d43cea3", "Property Name")}

Click on the asset once again, find a property you want to display on the markup, copy its name to your clipboard.

Now click on the markup and paste the property name into the formula. Your formula should look like this:

custom text {property("1f438e9ad96fb3a43d43cea3", "Expiration Date")}

You can change "custom text" in your formula to whatever you want. In this example, 'Expires' is used.

Now the final markup is:

Expires {property("1f438e9ad96fb3a43d43cea3", "Expiration Date")}

And the markup will dynamically show the value from property:

Expires 14.10.22

Use Cases

How to Add Points of Interest

A point of interest is a location that is of interest to users of the organization. For example, a point of interest could be a machine, a piece of equipment or a specific location in the factory. Mark these key places to stay in sync with other users of your organization.

Different types of markups allows you to decide what icon will be visible in the viewport and visually describe the key areas. Add as many as you need.

How to Store Documentation Data

Storing documentation data can be useful for understanding and tracking production processes. It allows for data exchange and synchronization between project users.
