Contour labels in decimals

 

Hi,

 

I received 3D Polylines which are generated from aerial imagery by drone.

 

All contour labels generated from these polylines are in decimals (e.g 100.00...102.00) and I would like to change them to precision "1" (e.g 100....200 etc)

 

I have followed some topics in this forum to change precision but still don't succeed.

 

Any idea???

 

Thanks

My guess is that you're forgetting the step of picking the arrow button after you've changed the precision.  This arrow button is what tells C3D to actually apply the change to the style.

 

It's a pretty common mistake to forget this step.

 

Beyond that, yes post your dwg file.

Hi,

 

Attached is the original drawing in 3D Polylines before I created contours.

 

Thanks for help

Your file checks out just fine.

 

As @doni49 mentioned, you may be skipping a step by not clicking on the right arrow.

 

The arrow forces the changes from the left side of the image below to the view on the right.

Hi,

 

Finally, I did it and nothing wrong with the steps I have done.

 

I noticed, my previous contours are created after converting 3D Polylines to breaklines while the last one, contours are created from lines (after exploding 3D Polylines). Maybe this is the problem.

 

Anyway, thanks a lot.
