Is there a wall label like this anywhere?

Perhaps??

Settings should be:

Insertion point reference side/other side
Offset reference side/other side (wall thickness + offset).

I don't know of one you can download but if you want to dip your toe in the GDL water this would be a great place to start. It opens up a new world of thinking and while frustrating at times can solve lots of other frustrations. I'm sure there are many here who would be able to help you out if you do.

To get a basic label working all you would need is a moveable hotspot (2 parameters & 6 lines of code which is covered in the GDL guide in the 'Graphical Editing Using Hotspots' section). Then place your text. Of course there's a lot of other more fancy things you can do with it, but that's really all that's needed to get it working.

Where would the label be taking the 'V1a' note from? The ID, composite? Material? All of these are possible.

ID! Thanks for the tip! I know it's possible with GDL but I don't have that time. I'll have a very quick glance at the code and contact our reseller to see if they can localize a wall label since this type is what's common in Sweden.

Edit. 5 minutes of no respect for the coding and I did it. Freaking awsome! Must have been something in the atmosphere!? However it doesn't work when I flip the label. I guess there's where the hard work is hiding.
The tweak I did with the structural labe is shown in bold below. Now off for gardening stuff.

unID = 1
nTrans = 0
wth=WALL_THICKNESS
pen LABEL_ARROW_PEN
line_type LABEL_ARROW_LINETYPE
fill fillMarkerBackground

! --------------------------------------------------------------------------
! Converting Distances and Sizes: paper size => model size

gosub "recalculateDistances"

markerHeadDistance = wth + extensionLineLengthPaper * paperToModel
extensionLineLength = extensionLineLengthPaper * paperToModel
