About Project Mark-Up

Project Mark-Up facilitates communication between designers. It allows you to point out problematic elements with a color highlight or to add new elements. You may wish to mark up a design for many reasons - for example to correct and manage a colleague’s errors or deviations from a project’s guidelines, or to make alternative design suggestions.

Use the controls of the Mark-Up Tools Palette (Document > Mark-Up Tools) to add Mark-Up Entries to the project.

See Mark-Up Tools Palette.

A Mark-Up Entry is composed of a logically related set of Corrections, Highlights and Tags placed on the plan, and a discussion consisting of comments made by one or several users.

The appearance of an Entry depends on its Mark-Up Style. A Style consists of a pair of colors. It is an attribute defined in the Mark-Up Styles dialog box

See Mark-Up Styles Dialog Box.

Sharing Mark-Up Information

Mark-Up Entries in a solo project can be communicated to others via any output of the Publisher. Partners can open the file in ArchiCAD, review the mark-ups, and add comments to the discussion.

If you use Publisher to output the marked-up views in DWF format, non-ArchiCAD users can add further redlining with Project Reviewer. Redlined DWF format files can be sent to you by the reviewer. You can import these DWF files as a new Mark-Up Entry.

See Project Reviewer.

Mark-Up entries in a Teamwork project can be shared more directly: just assign any of your entries to another logged-in member, who is alerted to the Mark-Up via an automatic message.

See Teamwork and Project Mark-Up.
