Using the Text tool, you can create multiline texts with full-scale font options, multiple styles and alignment in any direction. Text blocks can be created in the Floor Plan, in Section/Elevation/IE and 3D Documents, and in Detail and Worksheet windows, and on Layouts. You can format the content of text blocks as a whole (using Tool Settings or Info Box), and you can also individually format characters within the text block (using the Text Editor).
Text blocks are always readable from left to right even after a mirroring.
The advantages of freely editable text elements are available for the Label tool as well as the Text tool. (Rich text functions are not available for other textual items in ArchiCAD.)
Depending on the state of the Textbox Handles toggle in View > On-Screen View Options, all text blocks can be framed with brackets at each corner handle.
This makes text blocks easy to locate and edit, while keeping the text readable.
