Labeling

- [Instructor] Adding labels to your model is easy using the Text tool. It's found in your toolbar at the top of your drawing space or under Tools, Text. To add a label to your model you can simply click and release to anchor it and then click and release to set the text down. There's a default text that appears, which can be helpful. Sometimes it's the name of a component, the square footage of a face, or the title of 3D text. However, you can override this by clicking on the letters and then typing in your desired label. Then click off into some white space to set it. When you're adding text in a model, be sure to let that first click and release be somewhere on your model and not out into some white space. Now if I add in text, this label just sort of lives nowhere. It's just floating. It's much easier to control if you first give it an anchor somewhere on your 3D model.
