    Question Invert label for circular and square pipe?

    I have a pipe invert label style using "text for each" and "structure all pipes" to display pipe invert, diameter (in inches), and direction.

    INV=1050.25 (12" W)

    But now I have a structure with both circular and rectangular pipes coming into it. This structure has 4 pipes, 2 circular, 2 rectangular. I know I can set up a label style to display width and height of pipe. But how can I have a label style that will display either diameter or dimensions based on circular or rectangular pipe. I don't even find a way I could label it twice, once for diameter and once for dimensions.

    Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this? I would appreciate any help or feedback.

    Thanks

    You will need to look into expressions. There is not much else you can do.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    You could run thru your parts list and hijack a pipe property that you aren't using and edit it to be the size description you want to show up in the connected pipe label component. (ie: description or material)

    Via partbuilder you might also be able to set up a calculation similar to the one for the partsizename to produce the appropriate content for for the property.
