Profile View Data Band Labels missing

Anonymous
Not applicable

When I create a profile view, the default setting automatically attaches the station number and the height of the surface profile as it crosses each major vertical grid line (these are displayed at the bottom of the profile view).

 

This works well if you create a continuous surface profile encompassing all of your alignment, or even if you only want to display a single chunk of your alignment, (say, station 22-50 out of 100). When I say it works well, I mean it displays the labels at each major grid line as it is designed.

 

However, I want to create a surface profile at a particular offset from my alignment between stations 1 and 34, and then from stations 34 to 50, I want to create another surface profile at a different offset. I want these profiles to appear within the same profile view. When I do this, the elevation height label ceases to display for stations 35 and beyond (see attached pic for reference).

 

I understand that at station 34 in the pictured profile view, you actually have two different surface profiles and thus two different elevations, so I thought maybe this is resulting in an error and causing all of the downstream elevations to not be displayed. However, I changed the second surface profile to begin at station 34+01, and it still does the same thing.

 

Anyway to get around this other than creating separate profile views?

Make sure the second profile is attached to the Profile2 property of the band labels

Thx Jeff, now I see that the gray elevation labels in my pic were actually for the second profile, but the profile view was displaying them for stations 1 thru 34 instead of the stations I needed.

 

Next question - It does not appear you're able to do this for more than 2 profiles, is that correct? For instance, when I add another profile to the view, the band label properties still only show Profile 1 and Profile 2.

2 profiles per band, correct. the trick is, if you need to display more than that, create a band style which has the profile elevation labels offset so the y appear to be all in the same band, and have the 2 bands overlay each other. I think I posted some pics of doing this a few years back, I'll try to locate the post.

Well, found the post, but no pics. It does have a slightly better description of what you need to do for the style, though:
