Is there any way to do inquiries or labeling on corridor?

I'd like to have information about grade, offset, etc of a point placed on a corridor.

I could use a label or an inquiry  ( I'd prefer a label) 

But I'm affraid that this is not possible ? 

Thanks.

It's probably possible, but we need more details.

 

Do you want to pick the point and have the label show the values or do you want design points from your assemblies to display the data?

 

When you say "grade" do you mean Elevation or Percentage of Slope?

 

Are you willing to create a surface from your corridor? Having a surface makes it really easy to retrieve elevations.

Thanks.

Yes I want automatic & dynamic information for a point (or label). showing me 

- grade or slope, elevation, offset, superelevation , etc.

I have seen the label alignment posibilities. Maybe I can do what I want creating custom labeling?

 

 

Thanks

I see. 

 

First, be sure you have a surface created from the corridor. This will supply elevation and slope data.

 

I would go about this by creating an Alignment Station/Offset label. Within that style you can create a Reference Text component that looks to a surface for elevations and slopes.

 

You will need to create a Surface Expression that calculates slope at a single point. This will be referenced by the Reference Text component for slope.

 

Is this similar to what you want?

Yes Tcorey, thanks.

But I wait from autodesk a fast way to do this, maybe on next releases. 

I imagine something like a station tracker  "plus"....

Thanks again.
