Any measurements, regions, markups, and selections RE
created within ReCap, along with any general points
within your project, can have notes assigned directly
to them, allowing for a richer form of communication.
Title and description text, along with image
attachments, can be added to annotations at any
point by selecting the "Note" tool either on the in-
canvas object:
…or through its Project Explorer representation:
Image attachments can be added as a part of any
note. Attachments have a limit of 7 per note.
Once added, any attachments can be viewed through
the thumbnail browser or preview window on-click.
Formats currently supported include: JPEG, BMP, PNG,
& GIF.
You can create and edit notes that label the various
measurements you create. When you don't need the
notes or measurements, you can delete them or
temporarily hide them through the "eye" icon. All of
these options are available through the
measurements in the canvas or from within the
Project Navigator.
Import/Export
Notes can also be imported and exported from ReCap
through a CSV file. To import notes click on the import
button in the Project Navigator.
Once clicked you are prompted to provide a CSV file
that generates the notes. Format your CSV file as
follows:
**x, y, z, Note Title, Note Description, I
mage**
For image, specify the image file name. The image
should be located under < csvfilename
>_attachments folder next to the csv file.
One note is generated per line at the x, y, z location
you specify.
Once imported, your notes will be visible in the scene
as well as the Project Navigator. You can also export
your entire set of notes to a CSV file from the same
access point in the Project Navigator. Any images will
be saved to < csvfilename >_attachment folder next
to the csv file.
If your note contains any unicode character, Excel
may not be able to display the unicode character
properly. To work around the issue, follow the below
steps.
1. Create a new workbook in Excel.
2. Search for "import csv".
3. Open the csv file.
4. Choose 'File Origin 65001 Unicode (UTF-8)'.
5. Click Load
The unicode character should be displayed in Excel.
