Elevation Label 19

Dave Seabury
Advocate
I model most projects with top of main level at 0'-0". For my storey markers I use a reference level of 100 so main level shows as 100'-0"
All's well. Elevation Label 19 does not have an option for a reference
level other then current or project origin. Is there a way around this?
wish item?

Thanks

Unfortunately, this is not available current in that Label object.
You would have to modify the 2D Script and probably the Interface Script of the Label and you would have to use the following REQUEST command to get the height values of Reference Levels:
REQUEST ("REFERENCE_LEVEL_DATA", "", name1, elev1, name2, elev2,
name3, elev3, name4, elev4)

Returns in the given variables the names and elevations of the reference levels as set in the Options/Project Preferences/Reference Levels dialog. The function return value is the number of successfully retrieved values, 0 if an error occurred.

Thanks Laszlo, I was afraid that was the case.

the label calls a macro so I think it would be a bit more then I
want to chase down. All the info I need in is in the info box, can
I request data from the info box?

Thanks

No, there is no such thing as requesting some data that appears in the Info Box.
The Info Box displays all the settings and parameters of elements.
Request functions can obtain data from various parts of the Project structure.

I dug up a label that James Murray had posted years ago and looked through
the code. It took a few hours, but I fashioned a label to do what I needed.

Thanks James!
