Full superelevation value on curve segment label

Hi guys, I'm facing a difficulty and I hope someone can please help me.

 

I am trying to create a label for curve segments to present their data. I need to create a label similar to this one

I have managed to get all of the data except the superelevation value for the curve. I tried to use reference text to pull the superelevation value with the available properties for an alignment. It gives me the following options:

However, when I insert those properties, despite assigning the proper alignment to the label reference, I always get this result: ??? in the label.

Does anyone know how to get superelevation in a label like this?

 

I uploaded a sample file in case someone wants to look at it. Any help is appreciated.

 

Best regards!

superelevation rate is not a static value, so I'm not sure how you would display that.  It sounds like you want max super.  I dont know if that value is stored in the curve information, or just the alignment itself, and I'm not sure how you would call it, if something like a custom expression would work?

Hi @chriscowgill7373, thanks for your reply. You are right; I want the full superelevation value for every curve. I have already tried expressions with no success at all. What I finally did was implement property sets to manually introduce the superelevation value for every curve, label by label. This workaround works fine for the small projects I currently have. However, I hope I can automatize that in the near future for bigger projects.

 

Best regards!
