Text Annotation

The Text Annotation tool is used for adding text comments to the 2D drawing.

To activate the tool, choose Insert > Text Annotation. Or use the toolbar button.

To format text, use the tools in the 2D Properties tab of the Inspector window. The font size doesn't change when you choose another scale in the Project Setup dialog.

Text boxes can be moved and resized in the same way as other objects (by moving the resize handles while the object is selected).

The text boxes used in the project are listed in the Project Tree. You can use the Project Tree to lock the text boxes or make them invisible.

To add text, select the Text Annotation tool, draw a box in the layout, and then type text.

To edit text, double-click on it.

Note: There is another type of text box in Live Interior 3D: text labels. This is a part of a “floor” object. For more detail, see the Ceilings and Floors.
