This s driving me crazy....I set the elevations on the mes. The elevation label keeps showing the mesh instead of the actual point elevation....how do i get the actual elevation

Lilian:

Do you have the Mesh option selected under Gravity (on the Coordinates palette) before placing the Level Dimensions?

Yes...I set the elevation on the mesh with the z-value and when I pick the point with the elevation selection, it keeps showing the value as the storey level....

Lilian:

If you are referring to the elevation origin (Project Zero vs. Sea Level), then select just the text of the Level Dimension, open its settings, change from Measured Value to Custom Text, then select the desired Autotext from the Inset Autotext pop-up (to Project Zero, to 1st Reference Level, to 2nd Reference Level, to Sea Level). If that is not the problem, try posting some screen shots to better explain the issue.
