Corridor Labels

As I'm preparing (mentally) to create a series of posts to this blog on how to do a tunnel design in C3D I will need to feed you with some easier tips&trix yet some posts... ;-)

Today I'll show those of you who might be new to the program how to get Labels presented on your Corridor, like elevations etc. There are some ways to do it and here's one.
Below is a Corridor drawn with our Swedish style/template - enjoy ;-)


An easy way to get Corridor Labels is to create COGO Points from the Corridor.


In the following dialog you can select what part of the Corridor you want and also what codes to present as Points.
Put in a name for a new Point Group. All COGO Points will be stored there.


This is the result. A lot of Points with the default Labels.


As the command above created a new Point Group it's really easy to change the style on the Points.
You can also create different Point Groups for different areas of the Corridor and have different Labels on the Point Groups. That way you can have Labels above some Codes and below some Codes.


Now we have a look that is readable - like it or not ;-)
As usual it's easy to adjust the Styles and Labels to whatever you prefer.


As some of you know - those Labels are not updated (Dynamic) with the Corridor. But it's quite fast to erase the set of Points and have them drawn again when the Corridor is changed.
