Anylogic: Adding text label to Rectangular Wall

Question

Is it possible to add a text label on top of rectangular walls in Anylogic? I am trying to dynamically create rectangular walls using code and then adding labels. So far I am able to create the walls but the text label does not appear on top of the walls as I want it.

Answer 1

If it should show horizontally on top of the wall, just ensure it has the same x,y coordinates as the center of the wall and then set the z-coordinate higher than the wall height.

If you want to show it vertically (like a clock hanging from the wall), you need to set the xY coordinates carefully so it does not display inside the wall. Z coordinate half way of the wall height. And then you need to do a trick to turn the text: put it into a group and rotate the group. The example model "Airport terminal" does that, check it out
