    Question Automatically Labeling Profile Grade Points in Cross Section?

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hello All,

    I'm slowly getting used to C3D and am currently working on customizing cross-sections. I have a section and would like to have the profile grade points labeled. Basically, my cross-section is representing a slope adjacent to the roadway and I would like the top of slope and toe of slope labeled. See below.

    Can this be done automatically when creating sections or controlled by section view properties?

    Thanks

    Try creating Section View Labels. On the Annotate Ribbon, click add labels, change the Feature to Section Views. In there you can create a label for pretty much anything you want to label. Then when you add the label to what ever cross section (assuming you have more than one), that label is associated to that cross section even if you move it or change the elevation on the surface in the cross section.
