Beam Anchor Point and Elevation Labeling

Dave Seabury
Advocate

Bottom or Top of beam labeling for elevation is affected by the beams anchor point.  The top or bottom elevation when labeled should NOT be affected by the anchor point in my opinion.   in the attached example, top of beam 115'-2 3/16" is flat out wrong.  The default anchor point in the beam tool is center which gives you the mis labeling.

 

Just a heads up

That is strange.

I am not seeing this and I checked it in version 26.

Using the 'Elevation Label 26'.

Maybe you are using a different label that is actually labelling the anchor height?

Quite possible, I don't use the Elevation Label 26 because i can not get it to read a reference level, in this case 100'-00".

I'll have to take a look at the script and see what it is reading, if i recall correctly it GLOB_ELEVATION which might be the

issue 

 

thanks for pointing this out.
