Parameter "height" in the plan

Hi!

I have a object gdl and I want to indicate in plan what height the object is placed on.

I want to visualize the parameter "base height" in the plan.

Thanks

If it is your own object and you can program in GDL then you could adjust the script to show text for the elevation.

Otherwise add a label.
There is an 'elevation label' that should do what you want.

Barry,
I created the object myself. The object is very simple and I can program in GDL, but I don'd know how to edit the GDL to create a "label" already inserted in the object.
Thanks!

You don't need to script a label, just add some text with the symbol height.
TEXT2 0,0, SYMB_POS_Z
You will need to add a Boolean switch and an IF/THEN statement if you want to turn the text on and off.


Or you can just as a label with the label tool to each instance of the object in your plan - which you can turn on or off as needed.

Barry.
Is it possible to add decimals?
Now the text2 shows "3" (3 meters) and I prefer "3.00"

Thanks!

You will need to use the STR function.
probably something like ...

TEXT2 0, 0, STR("%0.2m", SYMB_POS_Z)
