Displaying Surface Names

Fabian_Posadas1 · January 17, 2018, 2:56pm

Hi Everyone.

I am looking for a way to display surface names.

I have a large model used to create thermal zones, which require me to keep track of every space (300+ spaces). I have entered names for each one of these spaces (floor surface only). I am hoping to find a way to display the names to make it easier for me later when I need to come back and select certain spaces.

Thanks,

Fabian

Hi Fabian - you can use Text fields for this.
Start Text and click the fX icon in the dialog.

@Fabian_Posadas1 , just in case it helps, here’s a very quick and dirty object labeler script.

Use RunPythonScript and point it at the saved py file,

or use

! _-RunPythonScript "Full path to py file inside double quotes"

It will add text with object names to the center of selected objects. Your 300-to-keep-track-of seems like it might be painful to do…
