Label

If you want to label one or more attributes of the block model, select one or both of the following check box options on the Label tab. Note: To enable this tab, the Draw Style on the Display tab must be set to 2D Slice :

Display Block Centres

You can display crosses at the centres of blocks. The crosses can be colour-coded according to the values in a field in the block model file.

Display Labels

Select the Enable check box to enable individual labels. Use the buttons on the grid list toolbar to Manage the rows in the list.

Up to fifty labels can be displayed for each block. Each label annotates a different attribute (file field) of the block model. Separate colour sets can be applied to each field. You can also adjust the orientation of the labels.

Text field

Specify the names of the fields containing block annotation values.

Decimals

For numeric field labels specify the number of decimal places to display.

Colour set

To map values in the Colour field to the colour values in a Colour set, double click (F3) to select the set that will be used to control the display colour. Right-click (F4) to create or edit a Colour set.

Default colour 

Double-click (F3) to select the colour that will be used when a Colour field or a Colour set is not defined - or when a value in the Colour field is either not valid or is not mapped in the Colour set.

Position 

The position of the block annotation. Annotation can be located at one of fifteen positions on or around the block centroid. Double-click (or press F3) to open the dialog box from where you can select a suitable position. See: Position your display labels (multiple data values)

X and Y offset

To offset the label text from the blocks, specify X and Y offset values. Offset units are "Character" widths not grid units.

Angle

If you have not specified an Angle field, specify the angle (0° to 360°) at which the annotated text will be drawn. The following diagram shows some examples.

An angle of 0° results in vertical (up) text. An angle of 90° results in horizontal (to the right) text, etc.

Leaving the Angle field and Angle responses blank will produce horizontal text. There is no need to explicitly specify an angle of 90°.

Text

Double-click on the Text Properties Preview box to select a font and set text properties for the labels.
