Scale Bars in the Data Tree

Scale bars provide a flexible way of showing scale within your mode. To add a scale bar select "Virtual Scale" or "Scale Bar" (depending on your VRGS version) from the Annotations group of the Interpretation ribbon bar and then click the position on the model where you want the scale bar to appear. To change the way the scale bar is displayed click on the name of the scale bar in the Scale Bar group of the Data Tree and modify the parameters as needed.
