🔹 Blocks: Annotations & Tools

Blocks are modular widgets in LiquidEarth that let you extend and customize functionality on a selected Space or Content element. They support a wide range of tasks — from adding notes or camera views to inspecting data through interactive tools.

<aside> ℹ️

Blocks are one of the three core building blocks in LiquidEarth, alongside Spaces and Content. To better understand how these elements work together, see: Getting to Know the Core Building Blocks.

Each block lives within the Inspector of the element it’s applied to and remains connected to its parent both visually and structurally.

Blocks are broadly grouped into two categories:

Some blocks also have a 3D representation, making them intuitive in spatial workflows.

When you select a block, the camera orbits around the center of that block’s 3D representation rather than the content it is attached to.

➕ Creating a Block

To add a block:

  1. Select the space or content element.
  2. In the Inspector, choose a block type from the Add Block menu. On desktop, you can also right-click the selected element in the 3D workspace and choose Add Block.
  3. It will be added instantly and can then be renamed, edited, re-ordered, or deleted. To rename it, double-click its name field. Select outside an editable text field to finish editing it.

Deleting a block always requires confirmation, whether you start the action from the Explorer or the right-click menu.

You can add a block to selected content via the inspector.
