Duplicated contour line labels are a problem

In the edit site model label position mode, if you click and drag you can select all the handles at the same time, then hit the delete key to start with a blank slate. Then just add the label where desired. I find this a lot less painful than having to click on every duplicate one by one.

 

Where is the 'edit site model label position mode' and how do you add the label where desired?

Edit Site Model Label Position Mode:

• Select the Site Model
• Activate the Reshape Tool (basic tool palette)
• Activate 2nd mode in the mode bar.

Wow, thats great @Benson Shaw!  This was such a PITA issue...its such an important part of a clean plan....and that tool seems to get part of the way there to having a clean plan without having to do all the labels yourself.

 

I still think it needs a bit of attention to be able to place the numbers above the lines, but this is at least workable.

@Poot thanks. This is path to label edits, move or delete them individually or all as a group. As asked by @Sameyers   But I believe the issue of this overall thread stands ??? multiple labels return if the model is reset to show labels. So hand labeling via text or data tag for now? Or maybe one of those strategies in earlier posts can be forced in some way? Sigh.

Should I start planning the 2 year anniversary of this problem still not being fixed?

 

Still happening, even in 2022 😞

I'm guessing this issue will still happen in 2023....

Any news if this has been fixed?

Just tested in 2023 with a variety of site models, still a problem.

 

Just tested in 2024

Same problem, different day/year 😞

Manual labeling is the only reliable method in Vectorworks.

viva la BIM?
