Additional levels in sections apart from the storeys (for ceilings, windows, doors, structure)

We usually add additional levels in sections apart from the storeys (for ceilings, windows, doors, structure) and I wonder what the best way to do this is:

Option 1: draw manually the levels and put the level dimension. But this means lot of manual work and easy mistakes.

Option 2: model extra storeys for each level. But this might create lot of other problems and complications, specially when I have a 12 storey building.

Option 3: adding reference levels. But they are annoying to organize, specially in reference to the storeys, so if I change the first storey level then I need to change all extra reference levels for all floors manually, which can also lead to mistakes.

There was a plugin for this, but I can't find it now.

Is there any option that I am missing? What do you guys do?

Do note that the object in the thread above is purely annotative and only draws the lines and markers, it cannot be used to set the level of model elements.

You might want to give this a try :

The demo version lets you test all of the features on a template file.

After setting up the additional levels for one section/elevation, you can transfer the parameters from the set section/elevation settings (by using the syringe on floor plan) to others without having to recreate all the levels. Or you can save the section/elevation settings as favorites and apply to other sections/elevations.
