Using Expressions in Reference Text

[jose.r.zavala]

I would like to place labels along a CL alignment that would give me, in plan view, the elevation of a specific profile as CL. This is easy to do with a Station-Offset Label that uses a Reference Text component to get the profile elevation.

However, I'd also like my label to give me the flow line and top of curb elevations. My first idea was to create an expression that would add or subtract whatever number from the CL profile elevation, but I can't find a way to use expressions with reference text components. Is there a way to do this?

There might be some other details I'm not understanding but you can use the "Major Station" label and insert a reference text to profile elevation of the FL, and you can then make an expression under profile label station -> major station and reference the profile elevation and add a value. Then add the new major station label and then in model space, click the labels, go to properties and set the profile you want. Hope this helps!

Thanks so much for your help! It's a great tip, it does help. However, the case I was dealing with at the moment required that I added labels at random stations, not at major stations. Let's say at a corner that happens at station 1+57.31, the start of a driveway at 1+28.86, and so on. Not exactly at every 50' or any other regular interval. And at those irregular intervals, in plan view, I'd like to see a profile elevation (that part's easy) and stuff calculated from that elevation. The irregular intervals is what made me think of Station-Offset Labels, with a reference text to a profile, and expressions using that profile's elevation. The last part is what I'm struggling with. Is it not possible to use expressions with reference texts?
