QUESTION

My floor plan used to display room labels, but now I no longer see them. How do I restore these labels?

ANSWER

There are several reasons as to why room labels might not display in a plan:

• A Room Type hasn't been properly specified;
• Their display has been turned off;
• They have been deleted.

2. Using the Select Objects button, click in a room to select it, then select the Open Object edit button.
   
   
   
3. On the General panel of the Room Specification dialog, select a Room Type using the drop-down menu located at the top, and ensure that the Show Room Label box is checked.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Click OK to close the dialog. The selected room type should now display a label in floor plan view.If it does not, please proceed to the next section.

1. From the menu, select Tools> Display Options .
   
   
   
2. In the Layer Display Options dialog, locate the "Room Labels" layer, then click to place a check in the Disp column for this layer.
   
   Alternatively. if you don't want to see your room labels, remove the check from the Disp column for this layer.
