Is there a way to create a generic Surface Label?

I'd like to create a surface label style that shows the Surface Name, maybe the Surface layer, then the minimum & maximum elevations for the surface?

Possible?

It is easy to do the surface name - you should be able to do that with a Spot Elevation label, and you can also do it with other types of labels if you use Reference Text.

However, for the rest of the data, it's trickier. You can always use a Field to display the surface layer, but Fields don't work in C3D labels, so you'd have to use something like a standard MTEXT for that. As far as the surface range, I can't think of any way of getting that data into a label, short of looking in the surface properties and hand-typing the info into a label.
