360 Markups and 360 MarkupList can be used to highlight different aspects in a 360° scene and keep an overview of issues directly in the 360° environment. Markups can only be used in the web editor on enterprise projects with an editing permission.

Access the markup tools

Open the markup tool list by clicking on the Markup icon  on the right side of the web editor. The tools will be expanded below.

Click again on the markup icon to close the markup tools again.

Markup types

There are six different markup types that can be used to augment a scene.

	Free-hand drawing
	Draw freely in the scene to not be limited to a given markup form. There are no limitations in the form with free-hand markups. Please note that all brush strokes of a free-hand drawing will be saved together as a single 3D object unless you terminate the drawing session by closing the markups tools. To start a new free-hand drawing simply open the markups tools again and proceed like before.
	Equirectangular drawing
	Add any equirectangular form to mark something in the scene. The form can be stretched freely and adjusted to a square. Each equirectangular drawing will be saved as individual markup object.
	Circular drawing
	Circle aspects in a scene with a regular circle or ellipse. Each circular drawing will be saved as individual markup object.
	Line drawing
	Draw individual lines in the scene. Please note that each line will be saved as individual markup.
	Arrow drawing
	Point out aspect in the scene with individually adjustable arrows. Please note that each arrow will be saved as individual markup.
	Cloud drawing
	Markup areas with the standard cloud form also available, e.g., in certain drawing management tools. Each cloud drawing will be saved as individual markup object.

Adding a markup

Markups can be added in any 360° scene:

1. First, rotate your view of your 360° scene to the area you want to mark something.
   Please note that once you have the 360 markup tools expanded, you cannot rotate the view of on the 360° scene anymore.
2. Open the markup tools menu.
3. Select a markup type from the expanded tools menu.
4. Draw in the 360° scene to mark-up an area. You can add one or more markups in a scene or view.

Delete and edit markups

Each markup will be added as an individual editable 3D object which can also be deleted again. Please note that only free-hand drawings will be saved together as a single 3D object unless you terminate the drawing session by closing the markup tools.

Manipulate markups

The location of a markup drawing in a scene can be adjusted by moving, rotating, and scaling the object accordingly.
