**The problem that this feature will solve:** Currently, there’s no built-in way to document important design information, decisions, and tasks directly within Shapr3D files. As a designer, I need to maintain separate documents or notes outside the software to track design rationale, manufacturing requirements, to-do items, and other critical information. This disconnection between the 3D model and its associated documentation creates a risk of information loss and makes it harder to collaborate with team members who need access to both the design and its context.

**Brief description of the outcomes that you expect from this feature:** This feature should allow me to:

- Create, edit, and view notes directly within the Shapr3D file interface
- Attach notes to specific parts or assemblies in the model
- Organize notes into categories (e.g., Design Notes, Manufacturing Requirements, To-Do Items)
- Have the notes persist with the file when sharing or reopening
- Search through notes content to quickly find relevant information
- Export notes along with the design documentation

**What can’t you achieve without this feature?** Without integrated note-taking:

- I have to constantly switch between Shapr3D and external note-taking apps, breaking my workflow and reducing productivity
- There’s a risk of losing important design context when sharing files with colleagues or manufacturers
- It’s difficult to maintain a clear record of design decisions and requirements over time
- Historical documentation of design evolution and decision-making becomes scattered across multiple platforms

I am needing this as well. Here is the use-case I am looking to solve: annotate credits for bodies and meshes obtained from third parties, like GrabCad, etc. I would like to give that creator credit.

This would be a great feature that would make Shapr3D even better. Also I am struggling with taking notes and documents about the models we make.

especially if you work with a team on the same model or when somebody else go further into the model.  
Having Notes or if you can document your progress or to-do lists for the further process of the models in Shapr3D itself would be amazing to have
