Add an Information Pop-up Box
This process adds an *Info* type point hotspot that will pop up information text with a title and description. An icon for the text box can also be added. The hotspot and the info icon in the skin are connected via a hotspot template and a Skin-ID.
The easiest way to add an info point hotspot with an icon, is to use the installed Components found in the Components Toolbox. Or use one of the built-in skins. They have point hotspot templates with icons and a text box already created.
