Comments and Redlines Add Comments and Redlines You can add comments to viewpoints, viewpoint animations, selection and search sets, clash results, and timeliner tasks. Redline tools enable you to add review annotations to viewpoints, and clash detection results. Using redline tools is mutually exclusive to using navigation modes and SteeringWheels, so that when you are redlining you cannot navigate and vice versa. Redline Tags Redline tags combine the features of redlining, viewpoints and comments into a single, easy to use review tool. This allows you to tag anything you want to identify in the model scene. A viewpoint is automatically created for you, and you can add a comment and status to the tag. For example, during a review session, you locate an item in the scene that is incorrectly sized or positioned. You can tag this item, stating the problem, save your review results as an NWF file, and pass the file to the design team. The design team can search the file, for any tags of status 'new', and locate your review comments. Once 216 | Chapter 8 Review Your Model
