RPS Label Slopes Command

The Label Slope command is part of the RPS Modeling Toolbox Command Description Provides a fast and easy way to label the slope plus other associated information (Horizontal, Vertical and Slope Distance, Bearing / Azimuth) between two 3D locations derived from points, lines, or a surface model. The label includes an arrow pointing in the direction of downhill slope between the two locations and a smart text label that includes the selected label information. The command can also label Station and Offsets of points in relation to a selected reference line that includes an arrow from the point perpendicular to the reference line. Command Interface Description Selected layer: The Layer for Slope Labels is set in RPS Settings - Label Settings to facilitate drawing automation and consistency. The current Layer Setting defined in RPS Settings is displayed as a reference only and can only be edited in RPS Settings - Label Settings. To access that control click the Edit Settings button. Note that if you use the Label Slope command in any project, if your defined layer does not exist, the layer, layer group, and all associated layer settings will be created automatically. Selected text style: The Text Style for Slope Labels is set in RPS Settings - Label Settings to facilitate drawing automation and consistency. The current Text Style Setting defined in RPS Settings is displayed as a reference only and can only be edited in RPS Settings - Label Settings. To access that control click the Edit Settings button. Note that if you use the Label Slope command in any project, if your defined Text Style does not exist, the Text Style will be created automatically in the Text Style List for the project. Note that if you are using Sheet sized Text Styles, that the Plot Scale is an important factor (see below) i.e. if your Text Style is setup to draw text at 0.08 Sheet Units, and your Plot Scale is set to 50, then your Text Height will be 50*0.08 i.e. 4.0 units high on the drawing. Before placing your slope label, make sure that your Plot Scale is set to the correct value for the drawing you are creating. We recommend that the Text Style includes the Autoflip setting so that it is always readable on the drawing the correct way up. We also recommend that the Text Style use a Stroke font vs a True Type font (current TBC defect in True Type fonts) so that the text and arrow get drawn above any background information in the drawing. We also recommend that the layer for Slope Labels be set to Foreground Display Priority for the same reason.
