Add a text box to 3D Maps

You can use a text box to add a title or narration to the top of your 3D Map, much like you would add a sticky note to a paper map.

1. Click Home > Text box.

   

2. In the Title box, enter the title for your text box.

   

3. In the Description box, add a note or narration.

   

4. If you want, use the formatting options at the top of the box to change the look of your text.

   Tip:  You can see a preview of your text box in the Content Preview box, located to the right of the Title and Description boxes.

5. Click Create.

   

   Notes: 

   • A text box keeps its position inside a scene when a tour is played. Unlike annotations, they're not bound to a specific data point; instead they are anchored to the nearest quadrant or corner of the 3D Maps window.

   • You can change the size of the text box and place them in different locations on the map to prevent them from covering your map data.
