You can use section view bands to control the location and content of bands in section views.
A data band is an optional graphic frame that is associated with a section view. The data band contains annotations for the section view and the section objects displayed in that section view. Some common annotations include elevation data, offsets, and cut/fill depths.
Bands can be created automatically when you create section views and also added manually to a section view you already created. Use the Section View Properties dialog box.
Use the Toolspace Settings tree to create and edit section view band styles. Specify which styles to use when you create section views. Add labels using the Add Labels dialog box.
Data band labels are label objects that can be manipulated like other AutoCAD Civil 3D label objects. For more information, see Editing Data Band Labels.
Group a set of commonly used bands into a band set that can be applied to a section view as a single selection.
