AC-14 New Label settings

[Steve Jepson]

I love the new label settings.

I am using it to generate my Wall Legends.
All you have to do is draw a short section of wall and show the label.
For the walls of the building turn the auto skin display off.

No text here at all. eveything comes from the label.
The new feature to labels has great potential for many things. Very nice.

As improved as the Wall Label is, there are still a few things missing. Please vote in my poll here

This is a neat feature, but....

Aren't the walls you place to create a legend adding garbage to the BIM - elements that require hiding, placing on non-BIM stories. Kinda recalls the "workyard" approach occasioned by 6.5.

Do I need to add another BIMserver project file to manage legends / Office Standards? Probably.

[Steve Jepson]

Yes. It does add garbage to the BIM that may needs to be filtered out, but this is a very very simple thing to do. I don't use a wall legend very often. I give the walls in the legend a height of .001 and put them on a layer of their own.
