reference level and level dimension

Tom Krowka

Any way to set a dimension level to read to one of the reference levels rather than project zero? I have slabs and mesh which I need to set a level dim to sea level, which obviously is different than project zero. Seems obvious, but I can't figure it out.

Would appreciate any help.....it's Friday pm and I think I might ask Mr. Walker......Johnny Walker that is.

Thanks.

I can explain my last post. I used the standard dimension tool, when I needed to use the level dimension tool, with gravity set to mesh. Hope this helps someone!

My first guess would be that your elevation marker is not at the same height as the mesh node.
