The Sketch Block is an interactive Annotation tool that enables users to freely draw and sketch to express ideas, annotate findings, or provide illustrative context for the data and content presented in a Space in LiquidEarth. As such, it is also particularly beneficial for geological interpretation, allowing users to mark and outline geological observations such as the boundaries between lithologies or structural features like folds and faults.

How it Works

To add a Sketch Block, select the content to which you want to attach the sketch and go to the inspector section on Blocks. Select the Sketch button to create the block, then activate the Pen. You can now start drawing and sketching in the 3D workspace and on the content loaded.

Control Modes

Currently, there are four distinct Control modes for your Pen, as described in the following:

Eraser

Selecting the Eraser (next to Pen) allows you to erase individual sections of your sketch without discarding the entire piece. However, it's important to note that the eraser currently works by removing the entire continuous section of the sketch that you drew in one stroke once you click or tap on it.
