I am new to C3D and I have been going through all of the tutorials and learning everything I can from the given data, which has been amazingly helpful. Everything has been running spot on except today when I was going throughtthe parcels tutorial, I applied Parcel Number and Area to a group of parcels I created via the tutorial dwg file "Parcle-1A". Everything displays correctly except the Area is not shown as it does in the sample pic. I have applied the "Parcel Number And Area" to the Area Label Style, but it still does not display the area. Only the Parcel Number. Is there some part of this process that I am overlooking? The tutorial dwg file is called "Parcel-1A". It was too large to attach, but you can find all of the tutorial dwg files via the Help Menu. It depends on your OS to where they are located.
If you go under Parcels Tutorial>Exercise 1: Creating Parcels from AutoCAD Objects, you can see exactly what I am working with.
I figured it out. I figured it had to do with a display style property, so I went into the “Label Style Composer – Parcel Number and Area” and I noticed the “Text Style” and “Label Visibility” were not checked, So I checked them to be "True".
Then I clicked on the Component name and went to "Area” and noticed that it read an error for visibility, so I checked it and updated it to “True”, clicked on apply and there it was. The Parcel Number and Area are shown correctly.
Thanks for posting what you found.
