Create profile labels

00:04

Select the profile right click and choose edit labels

00:09

in profile labels. We can add labels of different types to our profile.

00:14

We can label major and minor stations,

00:17

horizontal geometry points,

00:20

lines,

00:22

grade bras

00:23

and crest and SAG curves.

00:27

We won't label the stations as these can be annotated on the profile view.

00:31

So we'll focus on the geometry

00:34

for grade breaks at the label style station over elevation.

00:38

You can preview the label style here.

00:42

This will label changes in adjacent tangent grades where there are no curves

00:48

for great bra labels. You can change the staggering option

00:52

set this to stagger both sides which will move the labels apart

00:56

when they are in close proximity to another grade break label.

01:00

For lines will use percent grade

01:03

which will label the line with its gradient

01:07

for crest curves at the style crest and Sag

01:11

with the Charred style of crest only

01:15

repeat for the SAG curves

01:17

using S A only

01:20

click apply to see the labels.

01:23

We can see that the curve labels are placed just above the profile

01:28

will adjust this to place them towards the top of the profile view

01:32

in the label settings.

01:34

There are columns for dim anchor options and dim anchor value.

01:39

The dim anchor option controls the default position of the label

01:43

and the value adjusts it above or below. The anchor

01:47

for Crest and SAG curves

01:49

set the dim anchor option to graph you top

01:53

and the value to minus 1.5

01:56

click apply to see the new label positions.

02:00

We'll want to be consistent in our labeling. So we'll create a label set for these

02:05

so that we can apply the same labels to all of our design profiles.

02:10

Call the new label set, design labels.

02:15

We might want different labels for drawing production.

02:18

So we could create a different label set for that

02:20

and change the label sets. Whenever we need to,

02:25

lets apply our new styles to the sycamore heights profile

02:31

set the style to design style,

02:34

then go to edit labels

02:36

and import your new design labels, label set.

02:41

Now we'll add some general profile view labels that you can use

02:45

to annotate anything in the profile view,

02:48

select the view

02:50

and on the ribbon, choose a

02:51

view labels

02:54

and then station elevation.

02:58

Pick a point on the top of the ground slope has shown

03:02

you can select a station and an innovation separately using this label.

03:06

So you'll need to snap twice,

03:09

drag the label off to one side to place a leader.

03:14

Now will add a different label

03:16

this time, choose depth.

03:20

We can use this label to annotate a difference in innovation

03:25

in the view, pick two points on the ground slope. As shown,

03:29

we don't actually want to show the depths here but the grade,

03:34

although we only had one choice of label.

03:36

When we used the ribbon, there are other stars we can use,

03:40

select the label right click and choose label properties.

03:46

Change the style to slope one X.
