    Long-press an object in the 3D model to open the context menu, or select an object to link from its details/properties sheet

    Open the Items panel, tap + (or select an unpinned item card and tap Place Pin), and tap a location on the model geometry

    Tap + Plus inside the tool section.

  7. Tap the spot on the 3D model where an issue occurs (for example, on a pipe clash). The mobile app automatically saves your camera angle so anyone reviewing the issue later can jump back to the exact X, Y, Z coordinates.
