Wishful thinking.<BR /> <BR /> Is there any way to do this?<BR /> <BR /> We're really wanting to embrace the power of labels in v19 to get as much BIM info into our labels &amp; do away with 'dumb text', but our joinery detail drawings (cabinets etc.) are currently one of the few remaining places we can't get BIM surface labeling.</T></DIV> Fri, 19 May 2023 13:54:12 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Surface-labelling-for-objects-in-v19/m-p/270587#M42282 Gerald D Lock 2023-05-19T13:54:12Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Surface-labelling-for-objects-in-v19/m-p/270588#M42283 Objects (as in GDL objects) don't have surfaces like elements (walls and slab) do.<BR /> So you will need you label to read the material parameters of the object (if that is possible - I haven't played with labels that much).<BR /> <BR /> Barry.
