Elevation Marker

My elevation marker is not showing any elevation...and I am not sure why the source marker is greyed out!

From FAQ:
Can I post Images?
Images can indeed be shown in your posts.However, there is a size limit for the uploading images (currently 256kb per image). If you are intend to share larger image with the community, please use the link function that can point to a publicly accessible web server where the image is available, e.g. http://www.some-unknown-place.net/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor to images stored behind authentication mechanisms such as Hotmail or Yahoo mailboxes, password-protected sites, etc.

I think there is also a pixel length/height limit.

Maybe try a .PNG file. Usually much smaller than a .JPG.

The FAQ says 256kb, but the "allowed files and extensions" link when you actually add an attachment says 512kb limit. So, a little confusing...

Thanks...I must have forgotten about the size limits....here's the reduce size. I want to change the color of the horizontal line of the marker but I can't the option in the setting.

When I opened an older file [version 17] file, there is an option for the line but not here in version 20. Please help.

Try checking "Use Symbol Colors" and then the contour pen should work.

Thanks...I think I have mistaken...Section marker has option for the horizontal line but not for Elevation....
