I recently took on a job of drawing storm sewer plan and profiles in C3D 08. The engineers wanted the manholes and pipes to be shown 5' below datum. There is no option for this in C3D, so I copied a profile view, turned off all the profiles and created a no display profile view style, but before applying the no display style I moved the view on top of the profile view that displays in the sheet and made the necessary 5' adjustment.

The reason for this post, is I discovered that you can't apply structure labels in a profile view that is on top of another one. This drove me nuts for days, just thought I would post this in case anyone had run into a similar situation.
