Label two different surfaces

Hello everybody.

I wish to know if it is possible to create a labeling style to label two different surfaces in the same line of section band.

In my case (see picture 1 attached) I have two surfaces (different colours) and I wish to label both in the same line. Thus I created the label style as picture 2 attached (which means "Elevation section 1/Elevation section 2"), I selected surface blu as surface 1 and surface red as surface 2 and  I set a very small thinning parameter, but as shown in picture 1 attached only surface blu is labeled.

How is it possible to solve this?

 

Thank you

I noticed that if I reverse surface selection (namely I set surface red as surface 1 and blu as surface 2) only surface red is labeled.

So it seems that my style is able to label just surface 1 (or both surfaces if they appear together). If there is only surface 2 no label is displayed.

This should be simple. Verify both components are set to visibility "true" in the style. Make sure they are on visible layers. Make sure the labels don't occupy the same position in the style.  If you can post a copy of a drawing with your style, I'm sure someone will take a look and offer suggestions.

I forgot to say that surfaces are generated from different alignment.


Here attached you can find a draft of my drawing. In cross section view I just left the style I was writing about in my post.

Hope someone can give a help.

 

Have a nice day

My favorite way: Paste Surface1 and Surface2 in Surface3, and label Profile from Surface3 instead.

You'll find an updated version of your drawing attached.

Go to Profile View Properties, Bands tab.

 

Add a band of type Profile Data and pick a style.

 

Back in Profile View Properties, on the Bands tab, scroll to the right and set Profile1 and Profile2.
