Labeling Contour Lines

You can label contour lines to indicate their elevations. Contour labels display in site plan views.

To label contour lines

  1. Create a topographic surface with different elevations.
  2. Open a site plan view.
  3. Click Massing & Site tabModify Site panel (Label Contours).
  4. Sketch a line that intersects one or more contour lines.

Labels display on the contour lines. (You may need to zoom in to see the labels.) The label line itself is not visible unless you select a label.

To learn how to define display intervals for contour lines or to add custom contour lines to a site plan, see Defining Site Settings.
