Label Pad Elevation

This command creates elevation labels inside closed polylines such as building pad polylines. The elevation value for the label comes from the elevation of the polyline. In the dialog, there are settings to control the label prefix, suffix, decimal place precision, text size position, orientation, layer and style for the labels. For Position, the Center of pad option creates the labels in the center of the polyline and the Edge of pad creates the label along the top segment of the polyline and draws a leader from the label to the polyline. For Orientation, the Horizontal option creates the label horizontal to the current twist screen and the Align With Pad option rotates the label to align with the longest segment of the polyline. The Use Polyline Layer option will use the layer of the polyline for the label layer. The Erase Old Labels option erases previous labels when labeling the same polyline another time. The Draw on Real Z Axis creates the labels at the pad elevation instead of zero elevation. The Additional Elevation Labels are optional labels that are a fixed vertical offset from the polyline elevation. For example, you can use this option when the pad polyline elevation represents the finished floor elevation and you also want to label the basement elevation that is at a fixed offset.

If the Link Labels With Linework option is on in Carlson Configure > General Settings when the labels are created, then the labels will automatically update when the elevations of the polylines are changed.
