The setting which controls the minimum spacing of section labels and can be used to skip points to avoid overlapping labels is called ______.

• A. Spacing
• B. Weeding
• C. Filtering
• D. Labeling

Answer: (B)

The setting is weeding. It governs how close section labels can be to each other and lets Civil 3D skip certain points so labels don’t overlap. By defining a minimum spacing, the software automatically weeds out points that would produce labels too close together, keeping the diagram readable. In contrast, a generic spacing option just describes distance but doesn’t automatically skip labels; filtering selects which items to show based on criteria; labeling is the overall process of placing labels, not the specific mechanism for avoiding overlaps.
