To create a tooltip for the selected point of interest (POI)

You can create a tooltip for a selected POI and set the proximity distance for the tooltip to display.

Set the POI's proximity distance

Proximity distance controls how close the user must navigate to the desired POI in order for the tooltip to display.

1. In the model, click the point of interest symbol.

   Note: Edit mode must be enabled in the view. See To set interaction view settings.

2. On the Advanced panel in the Stack, click in the right side of Proximity Distance to display the value entry field.

3. Enter a value specifying how close the user's cursor needs to be to the POI for the tooltip to display.

   • If you leave Proximity Distance value blank (0), the tooltip appears only when the viewer hovers over it.
   • The Proximity Distance uses the current Unit Configuration setting for Length/Distance. Change the Length/Distance setting in the Application Options panel.
