Marker design

2.1 Put the marker on the map​

Drag and drop the icon of the marker on the left side of the top bar onto the map.

2.2 Edit the marker​

You can edit the settings of the marker from the marker in the layer tab on the left side of the right panel.

  • Location: You can set the location of the marker in latitude and longitude.
  • Height: You can set the height of the marker.

  • Label: Allows you to set a label for the point mark.
  • Extruded: If you have set the altitude, you can display a line from the ground surface to the point mark.

You can change the color and size of the point.

2.3 Turn the marker into an image icon​

Set the marker to an image of Le Corbusier. Image URL: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/LeCorbusier%281964%29.jpg/480px-LeCorbusier%281964%29.jpg

  • Image URL: Allows you to upload the image.
  • Image Size: Allows you to set the size of the image.
  • Image crop: You can choose to display the image as it is or crop it into a circle.

  • Shadow radius: Set the size of the shadow.
  • Shadow X: Allows you to set the vertical position of the shadow.
  • Shadow Y: Allows you to set the horizontal position of the shadow.

2.4 Moving the position of the marker​

By setting the Location, let's move the marker to the location of the National Museum of Western Art.

Latitude and longitude of the National Museum of Western Art

Latitude: 35.715415 Longitude: 139.775844

2.5 Setting the Name of the Marker​

In Re:Earth, data created by markers, photo overlays, sphere tools, etc. are collectively called "layers". The left panel is divided into two parts: one to manage these layers, and the other to manage scene settings and widgets.

Let's change the display name, which is Marker by default, to "The National Museum of Western Art".

Marker → National Museum of Western Art

2.6 Adding a Label​

Add a label to the marker of the National Museum of Western Art, which has just been renamed. The marker name set in the left panel is the name when editing, but the label will be the name that viewers can see when publishing.

When the label is turned on, the label setting item will be displayed. Enter "The National Museum of Western Art" in the Label text field.

  • Label: Allows you to give a label to the marker; when turned on, the label setting item will be displayed.
  • Label text: Allows you to set the label name.
  • Label font: You can set the font, line alignment, bold, italic, and underline.
