Labeling Contour Lines

You can label contour lines to indicate their elevations. Contour labels display in site plan views.

1. Create a topographic surface with different elevations.
2. Open a site plan view.
3. Click Site tabModify Site panel (Label Contours).
4. Sketch a line that intersects one or more contour lines.

Labels display on the contour lines. (You may need to zoom in to see the labels.) The label line itself is not visible, unless you select a label.
