Hello,
Have any of you ever encountered problems with the labels associated with MEP elements in section views? in particular with zero depth sections, when I try to label MEP elements(with a generixc text label), such as tube or duct routing, AC crash every time.
The only workaround I found is to set the section depth to infinite, label the elements, and then set back to zero depth(and its quite a little waste of time...🤣)
Operating system used: Windows 11 24H2

I have encountered something similar but it tells the story of MEP.
On floor plans, I label my pipe routes that go through several stories. They appear on layouts, on views, but when I export to dwg, they only appear once, probably related to the route element which they are connected to. Basically, labels show and they don't show. Schrödinger's labels.
I think it is related to their anchor point and is obviously a bug. It would explain why ArchiCAD struggles with zero depth sections - label's anchor point maybe is not in the plane which you define with your section, so they shouldn't appear, in true ArchiCAD logic.
Why do I bother with MEP at all...

I might be onto something: when I disable "Hide with associated element" checkbox inside label, they now export!
Try it, @strangeday, if you haven't given up completely.

Hello @rakurs , I've tried to disable "Hide with associated element", but archicad continue to crash, agree with You that the bug seems related to the anchor point of the tube.
