How to Create an Annotation
- Right-click anywhere inside the 3D viewer to open the annotation menu
- Add a title and description β the description supports rich text (bold, lists, links)
- Attach files or a video URL β drag and drop a document or paste a YouTube URL
- Choose an icon β select the icon type and color for how the annotation appears in 3D space
- Click Save
A colored icon appears at the exact 3D location you right-clicked. Anyone who opens the model can click the icon to read the description, download the file, or watch the video β no account required.

Use Cases
Construction & AEC
Pin inspection reports, RFIs, and punch list items to the structural elements they reference. Attach progress videos to specific zones. Subcontractors click the annotation in the 3D model and have everything they need β no digging through email.
Real Estate
Attach property disclosure documents, appraisal reports, and walkthrough videos to specific rooms in a listing tour. Buyers can pull up the inspection report for the basement while standing in it virtually.
Facilities Management
Pin maintenance manuals, equipment specifications, and training videos to the exact location of each asset. When a technician needs to service an HVAC unit, the manufacturer's PDF and installation video are attached to that unit inside the 3D model.
Education & Heritage
Annotate historical sites with archival documents, research papers, and narrated video tours. Viewers discover context embedded at every significant point.
Viewer Access
All annotation types are accessible to anyone you share the model with β viewers do not need a Splat Labs account to click an annotation, read the description, download a document, or watch a video.
