Markup Lister

+

Opens the Markup Lister, which lets you create, manage and export Markups in a project. Markups let you draw directly onto the camera view, making it easy to share feedback on design projects.

By default, the size of the Markup created is based on the width and height of the window. This can be changed in the General Preferences under Markup.

Selecting a Markup will automatically display it and make it active for drawing. Hover on a Markup's thumbnail to access the opacity slider and visibility toggle.

Markup Lister context menu

Look At

Automatically centers the view on the selected markup.

Visible

Lets you replace the selected canvas with a new image file.

Import

Lets you import images files as a canvas, which you can then place and transform as planes. This is useful for setting up reference images that need to exist in the scene.

Export Markup Options

Export your Markups as images to share with others. Markup options let you define how your Markups should be exported.

Export Markups

You can choose to export all Markups or only the selected Markups in the lister.

Include Scene

If checked, the contents within the viewport, in addition to the Markup itself, will be shown in the export.

Image File Type

The following image formats are available:

  • .jpeg
  • .png with alpha
  • .png
  • .tiff with alpha
  • .tiff
  • .bmp

Quality Level

This option only appears when the File Type is jpeg. Use the menu (Maximum, High, Medium or Low) or the slider (values from 1 to 100) to adjust the quality of the jpeg image. A higher quality will result in a larger file size.

Specify Image Size

If checked, two sliders enable you to set (in pixels) the dimensions of the output image.

Maintain Aspect Ratio

If this option is checked, the Vertical Size value is first adjusted so that the aspect ratio corresponds to that of the current window. Changing the horizontal or vertical size will then automatically adjust the other slider so that the aspect ratio of the image is preserved. This option only appears when Specify Image Size in on.

Horizontal / Vertical Size

Size (in pixels) of the output image. These options only appear when Specify Image Size in on.
