How do I adjust the position of the label after Multi Label?

After multi-labeling, this is what it looks like. I want to have a Label under the bow.

both beam thickness and orientation can be requested from gdl scrip, if you are after specific location and feature, why not create a simple custom script?

 

just adding few lines under generic label does the job.

example.

if BEAM_DIRECTION = 0 then
add2 0, -BEAM_THICKNESS

Set the defaults up for your label before you place them

This method
does not understand the directionality of the first letter.
I could not set it to go beyond the second bow.

this is Revit beam tag

Is there any other way to place them where I want them at once?

When you use 'Label Selected Elements', and your label has the leader (arrow) turned off, then it will place the label at the centre of the element with the anchor point you have set.

There are no 'offsets' that you can set.

Archicad does not know where you want each individual label, unless you place them manually yourself.

 

Even if you turn the leader on, they will have a pre-set position (which you can't change) when using 'Label Selected Elements'.

Only placing each label manually gives you control of where they go.

I set it to 0,90,180,-90 as you told me, and it turned out like this. Thank you.
1. It doesn't seem to apply when there are other angles.
2. When I put it in the middle, there are many cases where it overlaps with the bow.
I will study what you taught me and try to solve these two problems.
I appreciate you telling me how to solve it and what to study.
Have a nice day.
