Profile Elevations At Interval Shown on Alignment

You can add a reference label component to a major station label, unfortunately setting the reference profile can be difficult. Previously I thought you had to individually select each and every major station label, but there is an easier way. Press the Ctrl+Shift keys and then window over the labels. Isolating the major labels makes it easier to select only the labels you want. Then go into properties and set the reference label.

Unfortunately sometimes it doesn’t keep the value and you have to reset the reference profile. It also provides an alternative method to my last post.

I'm not sure why you would need to Ctrl+Shift to do this. Just using Ctrl seems to work fine. Maybe because PICKADD is set to 0 and you make multiple passes? Otherwise with PICKADD = 1, I think you would only use Ctrl. Though I was hoping for some secret meaning to Ctrl+Shift. Maybe there still is...

I'm not sure if I can explain it any better than the video shows, just make sure you are holding down the Ctrl key as you select the station labels.

Unfortunately I no longer have access to Civil 3D 2010, it's around release time which usually means I loose access to previous releases.
