Spot Levels not tied to Sea Level?

Hi,

I've added a mesh, and set the nodes relative to each other - taking the lowest point as zero. 

 

Then I've set Sea Level to x.x mtrs. The Elevation markers reflect this. 

 

Now. When (in site plan), I place a Spot level marker on the mesh - it only shows a spot level relative to project Zero? 

 

How to I peg the spot level markers to reflect each node from Sea level?

I suppose that you are talking about the Level Dimension?

After you placed it, click its Dimension Text, and then you can go to tis Settings Dialog and select Sea Level as reference.

In Archicad 26, as a new feature, you can set it BEFORE placement just like you could do it with the Elevation Dimensions for a long time.

Yes, Level Dimensions. 

Thanks for that.

I was clicking on the Level Dimension Setting & could not change the Level reference.
