Alignment and 3D labels export Navisworks

Hello!

 

A customer asks me if it is possible to pass a route alignment to Navisworks and visualize in 3D the labels of the PK's and the marks every 20 m. For the alignment in 3D I understand that with a featured line for the axis is enough, but for the labels I cdon't now ...

 

The idea is to make a 3D tour of a road and know at all times what PK we are.

 

Thank you very much in advance!

 

PD. I'm sorry about my english....

I have not done it in a while, but look at projecting objects onto a surface.

 

I think there may be more than one way to accomplish this, but if you exploded alignment labels into blocks, then moved the blocks to the surface, would that work?

Thanks for your answer.

It's a great option, but when I explode the labels, all of the alignment together become a block. The option to move block to surface does so at the insertion point of the entire block. If I explode again, the labels are converted into text and I can not move them to the surface

does this work with the text that is left over when you explode a few times?

 

I know it is a workaround - a purist would never explode AECC objects. but you have to do what you have to do. and then do it all over again if revisions are made.

Thanks, but that's only works  when the elevation corresponding to its numeric text value, not to a surface...

 

Seems easy but it doesn't! thank you very much for you help!

Search for ways to project objects onto a surface. I think it can be done!

Is there any update on this task? 

I need to do the same thing... show the Civil 3D alignment text to its profile elevations in navisworks.

Already tried to use a surface and move the text blocks to it but it's not a solution.

In the 2024 Navisworks Helpfile, it appears that labels are not at zero.  Has anyone been able to replicate this in the real world?  (or is this done via Photoshop?)
