To create a markup, follow these steps:

1. Select the desired markup type from the markup tool options.

2. Click on the 3D model picture to place the markup.

3. For text markups, type your annotation in the text box that appears.

4. Customize the appearance of your markup by adjusting its color, size, and other properties.

Tips for creating clear and effective markups:

– Choose contrasting colors to ensure your markup is easily visible against the 3D model.

– Adjust the size of your markup to make it legible and prominent without obscuring important features of the model.

Step 5: Save the Markup

To save the markup, you need to click the Check/OK button at the bottom right part of the markup window, and then post the comment. A new comment associated with that markup will be created. You can also add text to the same comment if desired.

To better understand how to create and publish new comments, have a look at the “How to exchange feedback on a STL 3D model” tutorial.

 Step 5: Edit and Manage Markups

If needed, you can delete markups by deleting the associated comments.
