Multipurpose Styles These styles are used in many objects to control the display of compo-

nent objects. The Marker Styles and Link Styles collections are typically used in cross-section

views, whereas the Feature Line Styles collection is used in grading and other commands.

Figure 1.9 shows the full collection of multipurpose styles and some of the marker styles that

ship with the product.

Label Styles The Label Styles collection allows Civil 3D users to place general text notes or

label single entities outside the parcel network while still taking advantage of Civil 3D’s ﬂex-

ibility and scaling properties. With the various label styles shown in Figure 1.10, you can get

some idea of their usage.

Because building label styles is a critical part of producing plans with Civil 3D, a later section

of this chapter looks at how to build a new basic label and some of the common components

that appear in every label style throughout the product.
