![CmdInspectionNotesBCF.svg](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/CmdInspectionNotesBCF.svg)

This command creates or edits notes either to make a report or export a BCF. A note documents an identified defect (as-built vs model), it may contain: inspection measures, 3D views, photos from the camera device, description...

> [!TIP]
> ### Requirements
> 
> Select:
> 
> - an inspected mesh or BIM and launch the command to create a new **Notes** folder.
> - an existing **Notes** folder and launch the command to edit it or click the corresponding Play button in the treeview.
> 
> Inspected mesh or BIM refers to mesh and BIM object resulting from [Compare / Inspect](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-inspect).**Notes** folders can also be created thanks to [BIM Inspect](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-biminspect).

1. Click **Add note** button and click the aimed object.
2. Fill the note information (**Title, Assignee, Description** and **Priority**). If necessary, update it later thanks to **Edit infos** button. Optionally, if the inspected object comes from a BIM, it is possible to copy metadata of the component.
3. Then, the command gives the ability to add views and images describing the issue. All these contents will be inserted in the report.
  - Add/delete deviation **Measures**.
  - Define additional **Scene views** to add to the report. Click **Views Gallery** to visualize the recorded scene views. You can remove or update them.
  - **Load Images** from your disk or **Add Images** with the webcams. Once an image has been added, you can open **Images Gallery** to visualize the recorded images. You can remove or update them.
4. When a note is added, it can be edited directly.
  - The edition mode can be stopped by pressing **ESC** or clicking on an empty space in the list.
  - Select a note, either through the scene or the list, to restart its edition.
  - You can remove a note and its content thanks to the red cross icon.
5. The notes can be exported to a [**BCF** file](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-bcfbimcollaborationformat). All information will also be used to generate a report: refer to [Report Editor](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-reporteditor). Consequently, you can **Update the main view** at the beginning of the report.

> [!WARNING]
> ### Notes
> 
> If a BIM object can be associated to the inspection, the BIM component field will be completed automatically.

> [!TIP]
> ### Practice
