The two availble tools to annotate terrains are really bad at it..

The slope annotatin for example:
- it wont work on a drawing model, where am I supposed to do it then?? My workaroung is doing it in a deseign one..
- They are stationary and doesn't update with the terrain at all. This should be a field at the least..
- There is no way to apply a style to it.. It's only shape is as bentley intended it to be. A line, two circles and an ungly text (slope -> XX.XX%)

- The list goes on..

The same goes for spot elevations. The only smart way to do it is with Civil Labeler, but it stars wrong by asking for a reference element? I'm annotating spot elavations for a parking lot, why do I need to select a line reference for that?

If you try to export that to dwg, good luck with all the broken null text you will receive.

The simple spot elevation tool works better in the end. But it lacks dynamic links for update, better placement and associative options, options to annotate with cells, OPTIONS TO REFERENCE TWO SURFACES, ...

I work mostly with site projects (datacentes, shoppings, airports, ...). Our plans are closer to buildings/architecture than to roads. OpenSite/OpenRoads really misses us by far on this subject.
