Text markups are used in Trimble Connect for Browser's 3D Viewer to write on object surfaces to add information to a View.

Guidelines to manage a text markup:
  • The text can be edited after creation.
  • The placement of the text box cannot be moved after creation, but the location of the endpoint can be changed after creation.
  • Text markup color can be changed after creation.
  • You can specify point, face, or line snap preferences for text markups.

  3. Activate the Text Markup tool.
  4. Pick the point where you want to add the text markup.
