Hi,
It seems like an easy question but could not find it on the forum.
I have composite slabs and I like to give spot elevation to them. I will need finished concrete level and floor finish level value. but can't find a way to do it with a spot elevation tool.
I can model concrete & buildup by different slabs and I can gravitate them separately but I hope that there is an option for that since it is a pretty basic thing.
many thanks

Yeah, no. Kind of.
So there is of course a way to do this - you have to change the Partial Structure Display setting to show the load bearing structure for example and then add the elevation, nice and easy.
But - this is where Graphisoft overthought this in my opinion - they get hidden when you switch back. So if you want to use this, you have to overlay two plans with different PSD settings on a layout.
The other way which we use, is to place a label (AUT Bauteilhöhe, INT Building Elemnt Height?). They have the ability to show the right elevation, but only for slabs. And you have to add a symbol separately.

The Gravity Tool will work on a Roof, Slab, Mesh, and a Shell; and that includes Composite Slabs and Composite Roofs.

For what ever its worth, I almost always model concrete slabs/flatwork as Roofs because just about all the concrete flatwork in my projects has some slope to it.

There is a way to do this, it requires a few things to work:
