Elevation Markers on Plan

Thomas Allan Palmer — Tue, 30 May 2023 07:59:50 GMT

Is there a way to choose the reference level for elevation markers on plan?
(like you can in the elevation and section windows)

I want to be able to choose(ON PLAN) whether to show 0'-0" (project level) or say 100'-0" (above sea level)

Is this what you mean?

It's under the settings for the Elevation (or Section) marker which you can directly access by right-clicking on it on the plan or on the project map.

Thomas Allan Palmer:

If you are referring to the Level Dimension Tool, you can select just the text of a placed marker, open its settings, then select Custom Text and insert Autotext for Project Zero or Sea Level. You cannot select the reference level before placing; if you search the forum you will find other posts about this and maybe a poll.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Thanks David,

The auto text with reference to "reference level 1" set at the same height as the project altitude worked.

Bricklyne, Good screenshot of that. I was familiar with that function in the section and elevation windows.
