profile band vertical eg label

[marlance]

How can I label the existing levels at vertical geometry?

see image below

One would assume that there is an existing elevation there.  At times you have to trick 3D, perhaps starting your chainage (Alignment) at -0.001.  You never know.

another problem is how to fit the labels into the box.

You need to check a couple of things.

1 - Check the band settings in the profile properties to see if the vertical geomtry is set to be labelled for the existing band.

• Select the profile view
• Right click and select Profile View Properties... (or click Profile View Properties from the Modify View Panel of the Profile View Context tab of the ribbon)
• In the Profile View Properties dialogue, click on the bands tab
• Change the Location: drop down to Bottom of profile view if it is not already (this will show which bands are set for the bottom of the profile view)
• Look for the band style that is your Existing Levels band and click on the ellipsis button (little button with three dots) in the Geometry Points column
• In the Geometry Points to Label in Band dialogue, click on the Profile Points tab and make sure the geometry points you want to label are checked
• click the OK button to get back to the Profile View Properties dialogue
• click the OK button to get back to the drawing

If the check boxes above were unchecked then this should cause the labels to appear that you want.

If not you need to check the profile view band style for the existing levels

2 - Check the Profile view band style has a label set up for the Geometry points

• Select the profile view
• Right click and select Profile View Properties... (or click Profile View Properties from the Modify View Panel of the Profile View Context tab of the ribbon)
• In the Profile View Properties dialogue, click on the bands tab
• Change the Location: drop down to Bottom of profile view if it is not already (this will show which bands are set for the bottom of the profile view)
• Look for the band style that is your Existing Levels band and click on the button in the Style column
• Click on the edit syle button (button to the right of the bans style name with a blue square with a pencil on it) in the Pick Band Style dialogue
• In the Profile Data Band Style dialogue click the Band Details tab
• In the Labels and ticks list, select the Vertical Geometry Point and then clcik on the Compose label... button
• On the layout tab of the Label Style Composer, check that there are components for the bits of the label you want to set up. If not, you will need to create the components here. ( if you have to do this I suggest looking at the way one of the other label component is set up and replicating the components in this dialogue - I suggest looking at the Major Station labels as they are working in your profile view already)
• Assuming there are components in the Label Style Composer, click OK to get back to the Profile Data Band Style dialogue
• Click on the Display tab
• Look in the Components dislay: list and check the items Ticks at Vertical Geometry Points and Labels at Vertical Geometry Points are set to be visible (the light globe in the Visible column needs to be lit)
• Click OK to save changes and get back to the Pick Band Style dialogue
• Click OK to get back to the Profile View Properties dialogue
• Clcik OK to Save the changes and get back to your drawing.

Hopefully, the Vertical Geometry Points labels and ticks should appear

If some of the Vertical Geometry Points labels appear, but not all, check the weeding factor against the band in the profile view properties dialgoue -> Bands tab -> and scroll across in the list of bands until you see the weeding column. Check the value set for the Existing Levels band and set it to match the value set for your design levels band.

how to compose label with legend

[MMcCall402]

The 'legend' is simply the Band Title with a text component and a line component.  The title is placed to the left end of the band. The line is given color and linetype properties that match the profile it references.  The bands are stacked one on top of the other.
