    Default Topo Surface - Contour Labels

    Hi all,

    In my Toposurface, I'm using the label contours tool to give my elevation levels.

    The elevation numbers are oriented from lowest elevation to highest elevation... Which makes sense, but sometimes the numbers are reading upside down on my plan view. (See attached).

    Anyway to "flip" these numbers?

    Thanks,

    Bryan

    Hi Bryan,

    I think the numbers will always face uphill and that's why they look like that.

    Nope, that's one of those long-time annoyances that's on the wish list. Very odd looking on the plan, and very un-Revit to have to add text in there to show right-side-up.

    What - don't you read all of your drawings that way?
    Turning the Sheet around every time so that you can read the Topo levels correctly?
    technicians these days just want it easy!
    This is a hard fought feature of revit - put there to only to test the best!

    (just a bit of humor there!)

    This must be one of the most longstanding wish list items withing revit that i know of!
    (apart from the "Click this one button that does everything i ever wanted" wish item)
