Anonymous

Hi guys,
I am straggling to make custom 2D object. I want an object to hold 3 data field and be able to show them in viewport. Like label.

1. How to make 2D object look like level marker?
2. How to display its attributes in 2D viewport?

Images attached. Thank you in advance!

I think you should create your own custom label (from AC21)



The pointer on this label may look like a level mark not quite

For dynamic content, I advise you to request an automatic text label and to integrate the desired data

To be honest I am trying to find a way to use an objet which shows information I have provided. So I can schedule it out.
The reason of doing this is to give a building information regarding its location.
I already made an object, I just need to find a way to change its graphical appearance and information displayed in 2d viewport.

Have you tried ...
TEXT2 0,0,Building_A
in the 2D script?
This will display the value of 'Building_A' in the plan view.
