URGENT!!! PIPE NETWORK PLAN VIEW INTERSECTION CROSSING INVERT CALLOUT

Hello everyone....

 

Is there a way to label the inverts or top of pipe with styles in plan view for two pipe networks at a crossing?

 

I know you can label any pipe network at the begin and end of pipe segment but what about anywhere else within the end and beginning?

 

I read you can create a non-plottable null structure at the point of crossing-intersection in the pipe network and that way you can label it but is there another way besides this without so much time being put into it?

 

Thank you...

Create a crown profile and add an associative label and have it read to that profile.

The "create pipe crown profile" is a good idea as is the "create a null structure" at the intersection.

 

However, users have been requesting a better way to label pipe inverts (or crowns) in profiles and section for a while now. This should be an automatic label style but as for now, you have to manually label the pipes using a Profile View or Section View Label Style.

I was playing with this earlier today and noticed that the lable style gets anchored the the center line of the pipe @ the centerline elevation. I was looking for a way to determine the distance the label is to or from the pipe end/ start . then we should be able to write the expression {startCrownElevation} + <dist> * {pipeSlope}
