Photo Callouts
We originally developed our Photo Callout tool to label plants with actual plant photos sourced from Google Images. This feature also works for objects such as site amenities and lighting components.

Callouts / Discipline Graphics
Our Discipline Graphics include several other types of callouts, including arrows, scale bars, breaklines, and some of our other site callouts such as Northing/Easting Points, Slope Callouts, and Spot Elevations.
The Callouts flyout from either the F/X Site ribbon or menu opens our Discipline Graphics tool. Discipline Graphics include a number of standard callouts and graphics related to disciplines such as civil and electrical.
For more information, see our Discipline Graphics page.
