Custom labels.

Nic Tulban — Sun, 09 Apr 2023 07:07:43 GMT

Describing details, I need to display in the same label properties of the fills together with properties of the materials they represent. More clear, I need a label which should contain the Material Name, the Renovation Status (of the fill) and the Material Description. Has someone any idea?

Could you please attach a screenshot that would show the fill, the building material, and possibly you could place a Text Block that would indicate the type of information you want displayed in the Label?

Waiting for a solution, thank you for your answer!

What I don't know from you image is whether that fill your "Kalkputz" label is pointing to is a Fill element in a Section (or Detail), or it is a component of a Complex Profile?

Fill elements do not have Properties.

Also, when you are labeling a Fill, Properties of Building Materials are not available as Autotext.

So I do not know how this could be achieved.

If you place a Fill and select its Fil lCategory to be "Building Material (Cut Fill)", then Fill Name, Renovation Status, and Building Material Name can be displayed in the Label using Autotext, but no Material Description.

It is a fill in a detail (as I mentioned in the first post).
I thought there is a way to access the material description as an essential information in this context. The material description has the same value as the material name (if not greater).

So, I have to use "dead", hand-written information copy-pasted for all the instances of the fills representing the same material? I doesn't sound at all as a BIM professional solution...

Thank you anyway, Laszlo!
