Labels - Walls & Windows

For the labeling of walls, windows and doors, you can make extensive settings and also influence the position and appearance of the lettering.

As in all dialog boxes, you can save the setting with any name (floppy disk icon) and manage the settings (middle icon in the top line).

Text Style: Allows you to select the text style you want to use to create the caption. In this case, the label from the sheet template window settings is not used. Thus, the caption can be provided with an individual text style.

Label text field: This field is used to enter the label. The label can consist of any number of lines. Everything that is entered without a line break (return or enter) is also written on a line on the plan. However, the label can also be multi-line via a line break.

Any combination of text and variables can be entered in the field. If you want to insert a variable, place the cursor (vertical bar) at the point of the input field where the variable is to be inserted. Then select the wide switch directly below the input field. In the next dialog box, open the tree and select the desired variable. With a double-click on the variable or a simple click on 'Apply', the variable is copied into the input field for the label.

Variables that display a numerical value (e.g. height of a window, length of the wall, etc.) can be formatted. You can set the desired unit and the number of decimal places. To do this, write a square bracket after the names of the variables (before the closing crossbar). In this bracket you write the unit, followed by a comma and then the number of decimal places.

Available units:

  • Meters: m

  • Centimeter: cm

  • mm: mm

  • Inch: in

  • Feet-Inch: ft

Example: You insert the following text into the input field for a wall label using text input and variables:

Text entry:

#Wnr# - #WName#

#Ausf#

U-value: #UW#

Length: #WLänge[m,3]#

Result on the plan:

11 - Gable Wall North

A DHP WDVS_60 Inst. level

U-value: 0.221841

Length: 12.500

Since version 20.02, there are five new variables that can be used to insert additional labels from the windows or doors. These variables are OzBez1 to OzBez5. These variables take their values exclusively from variables V_OAZusBezei1 to V_OAZusBezei5 from combination elements of windows and doors.

Position of the lettering: The lettering can be placed either on the visible side, or the back of the wall or in the middle of the wall.

Alignment of the label: The label can be created parallel or perpendicular to the wall.

Create Label As: The labels can be created as normal text or as labels in the sense of the plan program. If the label is created as a label object, then a reference line will automatically become visible as soon as the text of the label is moved.
