AutoCAD Civil 3D

[#1]

I need some help. I have a project I designed and grading plan is almost done. My proposed surface lables read as 1256.50. How can I get them to read just 56.50? I have a FG surface I created and am labeling using surface elevations. I am running out of room and need to free up some space. I don't want do drop my surface 1200'.

Thanks

Create an expression to subtract 1200 from your surface, then use it in your labels

That worked! Thanks, just had to create my top of curb expression to -1199.5.

That works, but what happens when you have a different number to subtract?  Try the method in the link to truncate a more reliable way.
