Commenting
Multiple comments can be attached to any item in the Viewpoints control bar (see ), or to any item in the Selection Sets control bar (see ), or to Clash Detective results, or to TimeLiner tasks.
The Comments
control bar allows you to view all comments attached to one
of these sources. Click on 
in the
Workspace
toolbar or go to View, Control Bars, Comments
to toggle the Comments
control bar on and off.
When the source of the comments is recalled, such as a viewpoint, all comments attached to it appear in the Comments control bar, showing the time and date, author, ID and status of each comment. The icon on the far left represents the source type:
Selection set.
Search set.
or
or
or
Clash Detective result.
or
Viewpoint.
Tag.
TimeLiner.
With many comments attached to many sources in a model, you may want to find a particular comment without having to manually search each possible source. See for details on how to achieve this.
Note
The first line of a comment is what is displayed in the top half of the Comments control bar and can be treated like its "subject". To get multiple lines in a comment, hold down Control and press Enter . This will give you a carriage return in the text box, rather than simulating a press of the OK button.
Any new comments will automatically be given a unique ID, along with the date and author of the comment and a status can be set. All of these are searchable criteria.
Once a comment is added, it can be edited or deleted.

Renumbering tag and comment IDs
When adding a new tag or comment to a JetStream scene, it will automatically be assigned a unique ID. If however, you are Appending or Merging multiple JetStream files together, then there is the possibility for the same ID to be used more than once. In this situation, you may choose to renumber all of the IDs, making them unique to the scene, once again.
