It just works on element (and sub-element) basis. It is then the task of the label – or the programmer better to say – to determine, which kinds of surfaces there are and which one is to be used for the label.</P> Tue, 13 Sep 2022 09:53:38 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/What-labels-can-be-used-for-the-building-materials-of-the-object/m-p/355773#M53230 runxel 2022-09-13T09:53:38Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/What-labels-can-be-used-for-the-building-materials-of-the-object/m-p/355835#M53243 <P>Thanks!&nbsp; Would Graphisoft have the ability to create this?&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I assume the info is there, we have the surface painter tool which can pick up surfaces/faces very well by hovering the cursor over the face of the element, even for library parts.&nbsp; If they could combine this info with Surfaces to create a singular Label tool to tag Surfaces that would be amazing.</P> Wed, 14 Sep 2022 01:19:11 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/What-labels-can-be-used-for-the-building-materials-of-the-object/m-p/355835#M53243 Dendarii 2022-09-14T01:19:11Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/What-labels-can-be-used-for-the-building-materials-of-the-object/m-p/355884#M53251 <P>They probably could, yeah.</P><P>You should make a wish.</P> Wed, 14 Sep 2022 11:49:32 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/What-labels-can-be-used-for-the-building-materials-of-the-object/m-p/355884#M53251 runxel 2022-09-14T11:49:32Z
