Editing the Analytical Section Labels

Used to edit the model annotation style for the section labels that will appear on the analytical members. Even though section labels are displaying physical member information, they move with the analytical member. This is especially helpful if the analytical and physical members are not parallel. See the Edit Model Annotation Style for information on using the other fields on this dialog.

Setting	Description
Analytical section label placement options	The label placement options determine the location of labels relative to analytical section elements. Label position value — Using the Label position option menu, enter the value to use to position the label along the length of the member. For example, if you are entering % of member length, enter 50 to place the label at the halfway point of the member. If you enter 100, the label will appear at the end of the member. If you select one of the Distance values, enter the distance in units (1:0 is one foot, for example). Label position option menu — Determines the label position by combining the Label position value with one of the positioning options: % of member length – Uses the label position value as a percentage of the member length. Distance from end 1 – Uses the label position value as a measured distance from the first end of the member. Distance from end 2 – Uses the label position value as a measured distance from the second end of the member. Label offset — The options for label offset determine the label position relative to member. Above – Places the label above the member, offset by the value in the Label position field. Below – Places the label below the member, offset by the value in the Label position field. x text height — Sets the label offset position by a multiple of this value.
Text Parameters	Text parameters for the label are determined with the settings in this region of the dialog. Text style — Lists the available text styles. Height — Sets the height of the text. Width — Sets the width of the text. Font — Lists the available fonts. Justification — Sets the justification of the text. View independent text — Turn on this check box to make the text flat to the view. View dependent means that if the text is flat in the top view, you will see the edge of the text in the front or side view.
Symbology	The label symbology is determined with the settings in this region of the dialog. Level — Sets the level at which to place member annotation. Color — Sets the color to use for member annotation. Style — Sets the line style to use for member annotation. Weight — Sets the line weight to use for member annotation.

Analytical section label placement options

The label placement options determine the location of labels relative to analytical section elements.

Label position value — Using the Label position option menu, enter the value to use to position the label along the length of the member. For example, if you are entering % of member length, enter 50 to place the label at the halfway point of the member. If you enter 100, the label will appear at the end of the member. If you select one of the Distance values, enter the distance in units (1:0 is one foot, for example).
Label position option menu — Determines the label position by combining the Label position value with one of the positioning options:
- % of member length – Uses the label position value as a percentage of the member length.
- Distance from end 1 – Uses the label position value as a measured distance from the first end of the member.
- Distance from end 2 – Uses the label position value as a measured distance from the second end of the member.
Label offset — The options for label offset determine the label position relative to member.
- Above – Places the label above the member, offset by the value in the Label position field.
- Below – Places the label below the member, offset by the value in the Label position field.
x text height — Sets the label offset position by a multiple of this value.

Text Parameters
