Can the zone tool create elevations automatically?

Can the zone tool create elevations automatically?

The toilet room is at level -30 from the ground floor, can the zone tool make it -30 automatically?

Operating system used: Windows

Do you mean can it show the level of the base of the zone?

Elevations are created with the elevation tool.

Also your zone is at zero level not -30.

yeah, i want a zone tool like elevation tool that will detect the floor level. i made the toilet floor -30 and i want the zone tool to detect the toilet floor level -30.
but i think the zone tool has to be made manually right?

You would have to model your zone with a base at -30.

A zone's top level can be linked to a storey, but the base level can not

I don't think the zone stamps or zone label have an option to show the floor height (I may be wrong on that).

The autotext label can be set to show the bottom elevation to storey and the top elevation to storey and/or height of the zone (general parameters - not zone parameters).

Top elevation to storey and/or height can be different if you lower the base below the storey, as height is from base of the zone to top.

I would just show the finished floor level (level dimension tool) on the floor slab.
