Is there a way to add labels/label sets to an existing profile?

I don’t see anything in the python directory for the profile internalDBObject that seems to refer to the profile’s labels. There’s profile label information in the Civil 3D API but I can’t tell how I’d use that information on an existing object. Funnily enough, Camber has a number of Profile Label Style dropdowns but I don’t see a node that uses them (might have missed it). Could anyone point me in the right direction?

hi
look at this

Add Profile View Station Elevation Labels

Thank you for the response and for all the work you have put into the Camber package. I especially like the dropdown menus you have built with many of the drawing features. This is just a FYI for you mzjensen, but I am hoping some other users might stumble across this and find it useful. I was only able to make it using a bunch of pieces of others’ scripts from this forum… With a few of the other tools you have put together I was able to pack together a slightly awkward but still useful worka…

So I believe what you want is actually pretty simple, but if I’m missing anything please tell me. You can use to bool toggles to turn on and off the annotation of the point number and the description.

I’m specifically looking for profile labels. It seems the links are discussing profile view labels or projections to a profile view. For reference, I’m looking to mimic the functionality pictured:

Hi
Check package Camber to add group label

Or
you need python

I’m so close. This goes a bit outside my original question, but is there a reason I can’t get/set DefaultDimensionAnchorValue of the ProfileLabelGroup? Or is there another way to set the anchor position of the created label set?

EDIT: Found it! The label group creation returns an object id. Get that object via the t.GetObject then iterate over object.GetAt() setting each DimensionAnchorOption to the necessary value. What a rabbit hole.

Hi rpriceAZEG6, can you share how you solved this? I haven’t found a routine in Camber for this.
