Commenting with 3D Annotations

When a 3D file has been privately shared, then you can collaborator using a wide range of features built around the commenting system. Uniquely, Share3D allows users to send a comment that includes the current 3D view and optionally any annotations added. This provides a high level of communication since both text and imagery can be used to communicate.

Submitting a Comment

When you are viewing a 3D file, you can add a comment. To add a comment, click on the New Comment button. This will bring up a text box for your comment entry. Click submit to send the comment.

What happens when a comment is submitted?

When you submit the comment, an email will be sent to the other collaborators in the current session. The email will include a image of the 3D and your text.

Using 3D and Annotation Tools

When creating a comment you can optionally use the Share3D annotation tools to add arrows, lines and other symbols to increase the effectiveness of the communication.

The commenting tools look like this:

Annotations for Communication!

Annotations can be used to supplement the comment by pointing out specific problem parts, drawing in a measurement that is incorrect, indicating an needed action or graphical content that may help clarify.

Accessing a Comment

In Share3D, a comment is interactive and clicking the attached 3D viewpoint will display that view that was submitted. This will also display any annotations that were added to the comment before submission.
