What are annotation templates?
Each time an annotation is made, you have the option to attach more context on it – including text, dates, various attributions, and even attachments or links. These attributions can be grouped together and applied to multiple annotations in Templates.

What can templates be used for?
These templates are commonly used for Defects or Points of Interest. To make your workflows easier, you now have the ability to create your own fields in these templates.
The annotations themselves can also be colour coded according to your selected dropdown field. For example, if you had different material types as a dropdown selection and each type was assigned a colour, whichever material is selected for the annotation will update the colour in the 3D scene.
