Contour Label Suggestion

[Anonymous]

Ok,

I like not having to relabel my contours after every rebuild but, I think
there should be an additional label option. Rather than doing a crossing
line, how about a point? The contour closest to said point would be labeled
at the closest point to the point (get the point?) This way, you don't have
to worry about going back and checking to make sure your little line
segments are still crossing a contour after the rebuild. Perhaps you could
even have an option of laying the point labels out in a grid over the entire
surface. I can see there may be issues if more than one contour is adjacent
to the label point or if a contour is radial to the point (i.e. several
possible label locations) but I'm sure the C3D team could figure this out.

Similar to the way the the parcel labeling works would be nice.
