Elevation Markers according to Reference Level

[SGraham_MGArchitects]

Is there a way to make the story markers in an elevation display their elevation heights in relation to a Reference level (ex. Sea Level), rather than Project Zero?

That's not exactly what i meant.

I'd like the story markers in the ELEVATION VIEW (i.e. - +5.25') to show their elevation values as relative to a reference level (sea level for example) rather than project Zero.





Accidentally put this thread under the wrong heading, sorry.

I don't believe so (I've created a custom Story Marker to do this).

Is there a way to show the elevation from project zero AND sea level in section/elevation with the dimension tool or a .gsm object?

Oosh:

Yes. Select the Dimension text and change it from Measured Value to Custom Text, where you can add Autotext that references Project Zero and Sea Level.
