Edit Labels

Learn how to manage and edit existing Labels within your 3D Slides.

Updated this week

Overview

You can create Labels on 3D Slides within the Layers of your 3D Models to identify key areas such as infrastructure, names of places, and main areas of interest like zones and projects.

This article outlines the various ways to adjust the Labels you create, including adjusting the placement, editing the text, changing the font size, and more.


Step-by-Step Instructions

Important: Any Label that you create or modify on a 3D Model will apply to any other slides across all other Decks that use the same 3D model.

Locate the Label You Want to Edit

  1. Log in to VRIFY

  2. Go to Decks

    • From the left-hand menu, click Decks.

  3. Select Your Deck

    • Locate and click the Deck you want to edit.

  4. Choose a 3D Slide

    • Click the 3D Slide that contains the Label you want to update.

  5. Edit the Slide

    • In the top-right corner of the screen, click Edit Slide.

    Jump to the Edit You Need


Edit Label Location

  1. Click the point where the Label’s flagpole meets the 3D Model.

  2. Move your cursor (and adjust zoom if needed) to reposition.

  3. Click again to place the Label in the new location.


Edit Label Name

  1. Select the Label you want to edit in one of two ways:

    • Layer Sidebar: On the right-hand Layer sidebar, find the Text Layer and click it.

    • Slide Editor: Click directly on the Label in the 3D Model.

  2. Edit the text.

  3. Press Enter/Return to apply the change.

  4. Click Save (to save this Slide) or Save As (to create a new Slide).


Toggle a Label’s Flagpole

  1. Click the Label to show editing options.

  2. Click the flagpole icon next to the font size menu.

      • Black icon: Flagpole is off and hidden from the terrain.

      • Dark green icon: Flagpole is on and visible.

  3. Click Save (to save this Slide) or Save As (to create a new Slide).


Change Label's Font Size

  1. Click the Label to show editing options.

  2. Open the font size menu and select a size, or type in a value and press Enter.

  3. Adjust until the Label looks balanced from key camera angles.

  4. Click Autoscale on Zoom to automatically change the font size as you zoom in and out of the 3D Slide:

    1. Unclick this option so that the Label stays the same size as you zoom:

  5. Click Save (to save this Slide) or Save As (to create a new Slide).


Change a Label’s Layer

  1. Labels are always nested under a Layer in the 3D Model.

  2. If a Label is under the wrong Layer:

    • Copy the Label text (optional, for reuse).

    • Delete the incorrectly placed Label.

    • Locate the correct Layer in the sidebar.

    • (Optional) Hide other Layers if they obstruct your view.

    • Create a new Label under the correct Layer.

    • Confirm the Label appears under the intended Layer in the sidebar.

  3. Click Save (to save this Slide) or Save As (to create a new Slide).


Show or Hide a Label

  1. In the Layer sidebar, click the eye icon next to a Text Layer:

      • Grey eye with slash: Hidden.

      • White eye without slash: Visible.

  2. The Slide preview updates immediately.

  3. Click Save (to save this Slide) or Save As (to create a new Slide).


Delete a Label

  1. In the Layer sidebar, locate the Text Layer you want to delete.

  2. Delete the Label in one of two ways:

      • Right-click the Layer and select Delete.

      • Select the Layer and press Delete on your keyboard.

  3. Click Save (to save this Slide) or Save As (to create a new Slide).


Best Practices

  • Labels apply across Decks: Any Label added to a 3D Model will also appear in all other Decks using that model (hidden by default).

  • Check from multiple angles: Labels sit on the X, Y, Z axes. Always rotate your camera before saving to confirm the Label looks right from different perspectives, especially if you’ll use the model in a live presentation.

  • Font size and zoom: Font size adjusts automatically based on zoom, but you can change it. If you make large adjustments, zoom in and out to confirm the text looks balanced across views.

  • Layer visibility: Hiding a 3D Model Layer does not hide its Labels — you must also hide the related Text Layer. Use the eye icon in the Layer sidebar to toggle visibility.

  • Positioning Labels on complex models: If many Layers are in the way, temporarily hide them to make sure your new Label nests under the correct Layer.
