Annotation Commands (only VR)
The Annotation commands are a set of commands that allow you to add comments, draw, and communicate with others in your simulation.
Annotation commands are a great tool to use while reviewing a product in SkyReal VR. They enable you to quickly add notes, draw a sketch, or add symbols to attract attention to a specific location in the simulation. Moreover, these commands can enhance and ease communication between users.
These commands are accessible from the default Tools sub menu:
3D Annotation (only VR)
When you activate this command, you will be holding a pen instead of your controller in VR. Simply press and hold the trigger, and you will be able to write and draw using this pen.
The created annotations will be visible to all users in the simulation.
Spawn 3D Arrow (only VR)
When you activate this command, you will be holding a pen instead of your controller in VR. Simply press and hold the trigger, and you will be able to [draw arrows] using this pen.
The created arrows will be visible to all users in the simulation.
Clear Annotations (only VR)
When used, this command will delete all annotations and symbols from your simulation.
If you wish to delete an annotation or symbol individually, you must first select it, and then use the Delete command from the Appearance tab in the 2D Command Menu.

Tips
-
Use 3D Annotation during collaborative reviews to mark up areas of interest directly on the 3D model.
-
Use Spawn 3D Arrow to point out specific features or problem areas during presentations.
-
Remember that Clear Annotations removes everything at once; use individual deletion via the Appearance tab if you only need to remove specific items.
-
When collaborating, annotations are visible to all users in real time, making them ideal for team discussions.
