AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Object Elevation Label
Jun 20, 2013
Any way to label the elevation of an object where it is picked? For example, I'd like to be able to pick on the node of a feature line or 3D polyline (or any object really) and have a label placed that displays the elevation of the object at the point where it was picked. This could appear similar to the surface spot elevation label, but instead of getting it's elevation from a surface, it would come from the object where picked.
Alternatively, any way to create a label style, perhaps using the Note label, to display something like this? I don't even care if it is dynamic or not, static would be fine. However, I do need it to scale innovatively . Tool Pac has a feature that does this, but the label is just a polyline and text that is not annotative.

I am trying to create an elevation label that will give me the spot elevation followed by the letters "TC" and then on the line below subtract 4 inches from the elevation followed by the letters "BC". It's easy enogh to add the letters but the simple equation of elevation - 4 inches eludes me.

When I snap a point to an object, the point takes on the elevation of the object. I would rather the point's elevation stay as is.
-changing osnapz variable
-latest civil 3d service pack
A few weeks ago I did not have this problem but once my computer was switched to the company's global server and c3d was reinstalled the problem appeared. Furthermore (post switchover), when a colleage of mine prepared a simple test drawing with just a line and a point, he was able to snap to that line without the point changing elevation. When he sent that drawing to me and I tried snapping the point to the object, the same problem occured with the point taking the elevation of the line object. I suspect it is a system variable issue

How do you label a polyline with a Z elevation that is not part of a surface? want to label the contours, but they are not part of a surface.

I need a label style that not only labels the major stationing of an alignment, but also displays the corridor surface elevation beneath it.
10+000
|
22.10m
Something similar to above.
I can add reference text for surface elevation to the alignment label, but all I get is the ???, no surface value.
What am I missing?

Is there a way to label or list a station at a specific elevation? I know how to list and label an elevation at a given station but I need to know where a specific (given) elevation is located on an alignment or profile. I don't care if this is listed or labeled on the alignment or profile, I just need to be able to get a station at a given elevation.

I need to know how to display a proposed profile elevation in the major station alignment label, I mean, for example, I want to read in the label "0+000, 494.444". I've already edited my major station label style adding a (profile type) Reference text, and it only displays "?". I suppose I need to associate it with the correct profile, but I've not figured out how to. I show you how the label looks in the attached image.

I have been searching for a way to rotate surface spot elevation labels but have not been able to find a solution to do so. Has this feature been added to 2013 or 14? I do not want to use the point and label styles for my surface elevation, even though these can be rotated. I have several miles of roadway with many horizontal curves and would like the surface labels aligned with and along the centerline. I prefer not to update the spot elevations when the profile is revised.

I've seen a label style somewhere that can label the elevation of vertices and elevation points on feature lines. How to style or a procedure for creating a style for this?
I've found a couple of blogs that layout the steps for a style but it seems there are a few ways to do it so I'm looking for what could be considered the most effective/versatile approach.

How I would replace the Elevation label on a point with Alphanumeric text on certain points in a point group (or if it can be done at all)
Some background info:
I work with site diagrams that have monitoring wells and each one has a groundwater elevation value that gets updated every year according to field data. Our current setup is that the monitor well name and elevation values are displayed using point labels and looks like:
x 12-1 (Monitoring well name)
788.432 (Groundwater elevation value)
However, sometimes the monitoring well is dry and we need to display 'DRY' instead of a numeric elevation value. Autocad won't let me put 'DRY' as an elevation because it's not a number. Is there a way to override this, or somehow make the label display 'DRY' if elevation of 0 is entered?
Another use to overriding point label elevation is that sometimes the groundwater elevation that we get from the monitoring well is so far off from the general contour pattern that we will put the elevation value of that well in brackets such as (788.432) and indicate that this means the elevation was not included in the groundwater contour flow map.
Is there a way to do this override, or is there another method I should be using to label my monitoring well elevations? I know I could just MTEXT everything, but that's double the time to update the point elevations for the contours and then updating the mtext to display the numerical elevation values.

I would like to know if it is possible to display the pipe inlet/outlet elevation in my structure label. It seems like it is not possible.It is possible to use the inlet/outlet elevation of the pipe in my pipe label however I would like to display it in my structure.

I know that I can add coordinates for such elevation using text component editor but I have to add the letter "N" for North or "E" for East to identify the location of the elevation (North/East/South/West). But, is there a way to make a label style that reads up the location of an elevation automatically?
I've attached pictures below for this issue.

How do I drop trailing zeros for numbers that end in zero, but keep a 0.1 precision for all other numbers in a point label style?
ie. I want to have points display 702 and 708.5 in the same point label style.

The defaul label style for the Elevation of points is set to 3 decimal places. We are trying to change the elevation display to 2 decimal places. We have tried the directions in the following discussion: [URL].......
Which is:
Toolspace
->Settings
-->Drawing name
--->Edit Drawing Settings
---->Ambient Settings
----->Elevation
------>Precision -> We modify from 3 to 2 decimal places.
It does not modify the display settings.
Also:
Toolspace
->Settings
-->Drawing
--->Point
---->Label Styles
----->(right-click) Edit label styles
------>Layout
------->Text
-------->Contents
--------->click on the "..." (three points) button
(Open "Text Component Editor - Contents"
--------->Select Point Elevation in the driop down list.
---------->Precision: Set to 0.01
------------>Ok, Apply, etc...
This does not seem to work either.

I have an Object ARX application where I consult a TIN surface for elevation samples. I need several thousand point's elevations in a straight line.
I have the surface declared as
CComQIPtr<IAeccTinSurface> mTINSurface;
And given coordinates (x,y) I can easily and successfully find the elevation using
//x and y are given double valuesdouble z;HRESULT result = mTINSurface->FindElevationAtXY(x, y, &z);
//+error treatment
This, however, takes a lot of time when I have to do it thousands of times inside a for-loop varying the x-coordinate. Reading the documentation on IAeccSurface I found the Sample Elevation method (I don't paste the link here, it's pointing to 'invalid HTML' and forbidding me to post). In the hopes of improving performance, this is what I tried:
SAFEARRAY* safearray;SAFEARRAYBOUND bound;bound.lLbound = 0; //zero-basedbound.cElements = number_elements; //does this define the number of samples?safearray = SafeArrayCreate(VT_I8, 1, &bound); //zero based, safe array of X,Y,Z doubles
CComVariant variant(safearray);variant.vt = VT_ARRAY | VT_I8; //type: safe array of doubleHRESULT result = mTINSurface->SampleElevations(x,y,n_x,y,&variant); //sample in line
This is what I took from the description given by the documentation; that the last parameter should be a "VARIANT containing a zero based, one dimensional safe array of X, Y, Z values. ". My problem is that 'result' is always E_FAIL - and I'm not sure why - and 'safe array' is filled with zeroes.
I have the following questions:
Am I passing the right parameters? I have little experience with VARIANT and SAFE ARRAY types.Does the entire Sample Elevation operation fails whenever a single elevation cannot be found? (I have sections without elevation information in the surface - I'm sure the first point (x,y) DOES have a valid elevation value, though). Would I really see performance gain by using Sample Elevation instead of multiple FindElevationAtXY, as I assumed?When calling Sample Elevation, I'm not entirely sure how the sampling is considered. Does the method recognize the size of the array and divides the distance between the initial point and ending point equally, resulting in that many samples?

I have an ObjectARX application where I consult a TIN surface for elevation samples. I need several thousand point's elevations in a straight line. Initially, I was making thousands of FindElevationAtXY calls, but that proved to be somewhat slow, so I searched and found SampleElevation in the documentation and was hoping it'd provide me with performance gain.
I had some problems, due to my inexperience with VARIANT and SAFEARRAY types, but now I get what seems to be correct results when passing an initial and ending point. Here's a code snippet of my call, which succeeds and gives me the correct elevations;
HRESULT result = mTINSurface->SampleElevations(x,y,n_x,y,&variant); //sample in line
Note that I'm sampling a line along the x-axis (y constant).
The problem i'm facing is that the number of samples along the line provided by the method is far smaller than I expected. I need thousands of points along this line (in fact, I want all points with exact round x-coordinates), and no matter what size I provide for the safe array of doubles given by 'variant', I get only a few hundred points. Furthermore, I've checked and the offset between any two points in the resulting sample is not constant, nor are they the same when I sample a different line (increase y coordinate by one).
Here are my questions: Why are these points chosen by the method - I mean, are they chosen because they are somehow 'significant'?Is there a way to specify the number of points I want along this line?Would it be at all possible to determine a constant offset for the samples (i.e., I want coordinates at specific points x-units apart from each other)?

I am having problems plotting out parcels and creating label settings. I think I am missing an important concept in the object and display tab of setting creation. I am not finding going through the documentation. What I have found is not well explained.
I started with the OOB alignment settings. I noted that the Basic setting has a description that states the object will take on the settings of the layer it is created on.
I noted that if I adjusted the alignment properities to "Basic". I could then move the 'roadway' alignments to P-RD-CL and the swale alignments to P-SWALE-CL. Freezing the P-SWALE-CL then turns off the swale CL's, but keeps the roadway ones on.
I am looking for a fast way to determine which styles this works for or the area of the documentation that better explains how this works.
I am starting to explore creating label styles the same way. That way I can double or triple label pipe networks such that identical styles are labeled on an E&S layer and a PCSM layer and the individual lables can be dragged on the two different sheet layouts in the same file to avoid text over writes.

i have some existing drainage pipe and structures in a base plan that i need to change the invert (which is the easy part) and the top elevation to the existing top elevation that does not meet the minimum presect in civil 3d 2012 is there a way to change these min. to match my exisitng elevation for example i have a catch basin invert is 15.45 top is 17.56 with a 18" rcp the cover will be less than 12" and i need to change this.

I went to content browser and loaded the "Plan Elevation Label" onto my tool palette when I go to place the label in the drawing it prompts for elevation and nothing else.
How can you change the rotation on the screen accept to use the rotation command?
The tag itself is referencing a block I went to the block and changed the block now if I go to insert the multi view block it prompts for rotation but not to edit the attribute is there any way to get it to do both?

Of course with ACAD MAP (FDO Labels for example) or better with ACAD CIVIL : no problem !
But often I have to use a Standard AutoCAD ...
A lots of people have already asked for this routine :
But I search in this forums and some others and unfortunately I can't find any correct routine Full operational on ACAD 201X 32/64 bits
I have many 2D Plines with an Elevation : some Normal , some have been splined --> 1st problem
I would like to label them with :
- either a Block with ONE attribut : the elevation
- either a MText with a blank Mask behind
As you wish ...
Question : Size/Height of the Block or MText ?
Some 2D Plines are very long (2nd problem) so I would like a question like :
Label each Pline every xxxx Units ?
So on a Pline Contour of 2000 meters, I could have the elevation (Block or MText) every 50 meters ...
Of course I would like that the Block or Mtext will have to follow (rotation) the Pline (splined or not) where the label is inserted !

C3D 2013. We have profile line labels, some of which get manually edited (for example, change the "<[Tangent grade(FP|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|SD|OF)]>" to a static number such as 0.29%).
However, if you CTRL+Click and select one of these labels and change the style of that one label, then the manual edits are lost and the label reverts back to the default string.
Is there any way to turn this behavior off?

I'm running Architecture 2013. When creating an elevation object from a 3D model, the hidden lines are not being removed. I've never seen this before, though I have been using Architecture and ADT for years. I've recently upgreaded from 2009 to 2013, and VOILA!
Hidden lines not removed from elevation and section objects. I've tried various tests, to no avail.....
