Profile Label Style Structures with multiple Pipe Type Shapes

How do you get a Structure Label Style in the Profile to label size of Box Culverts as well as Circular Pipes in the Same Label.

Need to show 5'x3' Box in the same label.

Does the Box Culvert label in plan view? Is it connected to the pipe network? If those are yes, have you tried Reference Text? Perhaps @Joe-Bouza could chime in with additional options.

Edit the label style to use the pipe Description rather than the size. Then edit the pipe descriptions to include the size so you can have 5'x3' in the description for the box culverts and 18" for the round pipes

The Pipe Descriptions are not appropriate for the label, just need the size not the material and shape. That would force me to edit the Pipe Catalog which I have not the time.

I don't believe I've used reference text, but the answer to your question is yes to both.

Illustration of the description method.

I only edited the descriptions of the pipes thru the pipe network panorama view where you can select a range of pipes and change all their descriptions all at once.

Edit the parts list in your template file for future project so pipes get the needed descriptions by default.

@MMcCall402 is correct. you want to edit your part list and style in your template for the future. no need to alter the catalog
