5. Specify the processed contour elevation layer (if a contour does not have a text to assign the elevation from, it will not be processed, users will visually see which contours were not processed):

6. Specify the distance tolerance in meters (the text does not need to overlap with a polyline, it should just be close to a polyline within the tolerance distance):

The processed polylines are displayed in magenta in the image below (some polylines were not processed because the distance tolerance was set too small):
