Hi,
I saw that there is this new label in Archicad 28 called "Ceiling Slab Elevation Label" that displays a Level dimension marker and the "bottom elevation to home story" of the associated slab. We need this measurement on our projects as well, so until now we have been using our own custom label which displayed the same property with a classic black-and-white level dimension marker. It is good to see that there is a native solution now.
But it also raises a few questions for me:
- In Archicad 26 a new feature was introduced that allows you to customize the displayed value, and pick the reference point (e.g. Bottom) as well as the reference level (e.g. Sea Level). Why not just introduce "Home Story" as a reference level in the Level dimension tool?
(especially since the Level dimension impacts performance far less than a label)
- Introducing this value in a Label could still be beneficial, as with Labels you can have more flexibility in the displayed value (theoretically you could pick any calculated property to display instead of being limited to the options in the Level Dimension) and it also allows you to customize the marker more (as again, in the Level Dimension tool you are limited to the options available in the tool), but in this label there are actually much fewer options than in the level dimension tool.
Can we expect this functionality to be added to the Level Dimension in the future?
And/or can we expect this label to get more flexible in the future?
Thanks!
