Creating Topics
About Creating Topic
Topics can be created in the Web Application and the 3D Viewer. Topics created in the 3D Viewer applications will have an Embedded View which will allow you to open the Topic in the future to that particular Viewpoint. Topics created in the Web Application will not have an Embedded View but you can add Views to them at a later point.
