Applying Section labels
At times, you may need to annotate sections with information about their eleva-
tions, slopes, offsets, and so on. As you learned in Chapter 8, “Displaying and
Annotating Profiles,” label sets enable you to apply multiple labels at once as well
as apply important configuration settings to the labels such as increment, weeding,
and so on. The AutoCAD
®
Civil 3D
®
software environment provides the following
four types of labels that can be compiled into a label set:
Certification
Objective
Major offset labels
These labels are placed at constant increments along
the section. You can use this label type to label offset, elevation, instantaneous
grade, and many other properties.
