Applying property sets to label our modeled objects

Now that we have a property set associated with one of our gravity pipes, and a basic understanding of property sets in general, we can look at ways we can utilize these for labeling purposes. We know Autodesk Civil 3D 2025 offers many out-of-the-box solutions for labeling as we can access many data points from our modeled objects. Since property sets are essentially customized properties and not included in our out-of-the-box data points, we’ll have to develop some custom fields within our Label properties to surface the custom properties.

Labeling our modeled objects

With that, let’s go ahead and simply label the Storm Drainage pipe that we applied the Storm Drainage property set to. To do so, we’ll follow these steps:

1. We’ll select the Storm Drainage pipe in model space, right-click, and select the Add Label option. This workflow will quickly label our Storm Drainage pipe with the default...
