hollister design Studio Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 As the Site Model elevation numbers are difficult to make presentable I was thinking I would make a data tag that would grab info from contour lines. Is this possible? Did some quick searching in the tag menu but didn't see anything that looked promising... Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 #ZCTR# will work for this. Be sure you isolate the 3d Polygons first (inside a group or whatnot) or every living thing will get a tag. 2 Quote Link to comment

Pat Stanford Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Z Center. This is the Z value of the middle of the poly. Since contours are parallel to the layer plane and supposed to have the same Z height over their entire length, the Z of the Center should be what you want. 2 Quote Link to comment
hollister design Studio Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 So the tag isn't "highlighting' anything red like my other data tags, and is returning 0" as the data. I have object function set to #ZCTR# Do I need to specify the object somehow? My other attempts at data tags where object specific.. hardscape and landscape areas - and snapped to there object type only. Quote Link to comment
