I'm using the 'label co-ordinate' tool to annotate my structure showing the level. the default style i have looks like this
Is there a way i can get this level looking like this below (this is took from a different software).
Hi Kyle,
There are options for this that I covered in Setting Up in the Real World - Labelling Spot Heights, including using cells that contain text fields which are good for differnet graphic styles not provided by the label Coordinate tool.
One additional suggestion (that I will add to that blog later) is to change the terminator used by the Label Coordinate tool.
Go to: Building Designer menu > Annotate Tool Settings...
You can change the terminator cell, obviously the shape you would like is not there, but can easily be added.
To distribute to all of your users copy the existing library:
C:\ProgramData\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss6\WorkSpace\BuildingDatasets\Dataset_GB\cell\LabelCoordinateTerminator.cel
into your company standards (do you have a set of Company Dataset folders?).
Then add a statement to your site configuration redefining TFANNOTATION_LABELCOORDTERM_LIBFILE to point to the location you chose, e.g.:
TFANNOTATION_LABELCOORDTERM_LIBFILE = $(_USTN_SITE)cell/Company_Terminators.cel
or if you have Company Dataset folders this could be:
TFANNOTATION_LABELCOORDTERM_LIBFILE = $(COMP_DATASET)cell/Company_Terminators.cel
The exact statements would depend on your site configuration.
Edit or create (by copying an existing model) the terminator that you need. Important: Each cell that is intended to be used by the Label Coordinate tool must retain the word 'Coordinate' that you will find in each of the delivered cells.
The font is also controlled in this dialog, change from <useCell> by picking your company font from the pop-up dialog under the Font column:
