Labels for MEP elements

Why there is no label that properly displays MEP elements?

Im trying to label a cable tray, and I'm using the "Generic Label 24", but I have a couple of problems:

- Dimensions do not show correctly, for some reason instead of the trays' dimensions I always get 1.00x1.00x0.00

- For elevation there are only the "Current Story" and "Project zero" options, so when a cable tray goes straight but the slab below is for some reason higher I cannot select 1st reference level

There are MEP Labels.

I currently use this:

Well... the fact that there is a product for sale that does what I'm searching, only confirms that GS doesn't provide a suitable Label object for its MEP elements

That is true.

However, in my mind it is the cost of doing business.

I have been trying to push Graphisoft to improve MEP functionality for years. Don't give up!
