Since their object was open source, I modified it to allow for more flexibility. Would be nice to be able to Call loaded storey markers, but I could not figure out how to override the text...

Hi Ling,

I just came across this and I liked a lot. I have one difficulty: I can't get it to display the elevation levels in feet and inches. I set my Sea level as per the project's (feet), but the elev. levels are displayed in what I believe as meters (I just didn't do the conversion, sure thing it's not the feet and inches I'm looking for).
Any thoughts on how and if I can get it to display the way I needed?

Thx,

[Lingwisyer]

Oh... that would be an oversight by me, and probably GSSG, since we work in metric... will look into how to convert it to imperial sometime this week if I have the time.

What sort of precision is usually accepted? Fractional or decimal?

Update: Added the option for feet with 16th fractional inches and feet with decimal inches under the Level Prefix page. Accuracy can be adjusted with user modification of lines 216/218 and 430/432 for fractional and decimal respectively. Refer to the STR function in the GDL Reference Guide for modifiers.

Works perfectly! Thank you, Ling, I really appreciate it. 1/16 is good enough for me.

Fixed a bug that prevented the use of a reference storey.

Fixed basement suffix when set to use reference storey.

Modifying the marker offset value, the reference position of the left markers, no longer changes the position of the right markers.

Fixed top storey offset when storey count matches file storey settings.

Split marker offset hotspots from marker length hotspots.

Moved marker offset and grid length hotspots to the inside of markers when enabled.

Looking at adding interstorey reference grids to make using project storeys more useful and to reduce the need custom naming, but it sounds like a lot of work with a million more arrays...

I needed coursing numbers, so...

Added coursing display option.

Preset coursing standards can be modified in the master script, just search for "= Coursing ="

Hi @Lingwisyer Great work on improving the object. We have updated the object recently too. Here is our copy of this object.
