Marking up Shared Views with Sketches, Arrows, Clouds and Text.
00:05
In this video, we're going to add markups to a view, save those markups and then share a link with other people.
00:15
I'm in the Autodesk Viewer and I've recently added a few measurements here.
00:20
I am signed in because I needed to be signed in so that I could actually do the markup tools.
00:25
And now we're going to add some markups. So I'm gonna click "Markup".
00:31
And you'll notice that the toolbar at the bottom down here has changed.
00:34
We have several markup tools - pencil, arrow, cloud and text.
00:39
We can also change the color, and choose a variety of different colors and different weights depending on what it is as you want to do.
00:47
So I'm gonna leave my color red and white and I'm, first of all, going to do a pencil.
00:54
Now with a pencil, I can do any kind of drawing.
00:56
I just move my cursor in the pattern that I want to draw as I hold it down.
01:02
Let's say, for example, I want to add kind of a circle here, not the best circles in the world.
01:09
But I want to put a circle around each of these areas.
01:17
Now, if I don't like a piece, for example, I don't need this large piece anymore.
01:21
I can delete it. So I'm coming down here and deleting it.
01:24
I can also change the colors. Let's say I wanted to have every other one green.
01:29
I could actually come down here and choose that.
01:33
These tools are fairly simple. So again, I have the arrow, I might put an arrow towards here.
01:40
I might put an arrow towards here. And once again, you can use any of the colors.
01:45
The cloud tool again is similar. And let's say in this case, I want to put a cloud around here.
01:52
This is probably the best tool in terms of quick access.
01:56
It's just a rectangle and you can put that cloud around everywhere. You want it to be.
02:02
The final tool that we have in the markup tools is text and it works very similar.
02:09
You just pick where you want to type and then you can start typing.
02:13
So add circles 6 ft apart to show distances.
02:20
Let's say, for example, I need to have a note in here. And once again, I do my text Looks like I need to select outside the cloud.
02:29
So let me just start my text and type in quickly, clean this entry fully.
02:36
Then I can select on the edge and drag it inside the cloud.
02:42
I'm gonna click this text and move it up and over so that it looks like it's on the arrow.
02:48
I can always change any of the colors.
02:50
So for example, I want to change that color to yellow, and I can continue marking up the view.
02:58
When you're ready to finish it. You click save, and you're saving this particular markup down here.
03:06
You can see here's my markup.
03:09
It's an additional picture as an along with a link and then I can copy that link,
03:16
and send it on to someone if I need to.
03:21
Let's switch over to Revit and see what it looks like here.
03:25
When I click the refresh button, it displays my markup.
03:29
Now it doesn't have any other comments. But if I click on the markup, it automatically loads the Autodesk Viewer.
03:36
And then when I can come into that, I click on the picture and it brings up my markup view.
03:43
It doesn't have the measuring tools in it, but it does display the other information.
03:48
And once I'm finished reviewing the markup, then I can click close markup.

In this exercise, you will mark up a section view in the Autodesk Viewer and then share the markup with other users.
You need to have access to Revit and a shared view to work through these steps. If you have not created a shared view in an earlier exercise, do that now. If you do not have access to Revit, ask someone who does to create a shared view and you can work through the Autodesk Viewer portion of the practice. You will also need a free Autodesk Account to access the Markup tools.
