Elevation Markers according to Reference Level

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?

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.

Thanks, David! This is what I was looking for.
