AC 11 pln single-story hotlink insertion height problem

[Ignacio Azpiazu]

This is a bug in AC 11 USA. See below.

Still happening to me with 11 USA Mac build 1040. The default 'Elevation' value for insertion in the Place Module dialog box is ' - story height' for stories above ground --it obviously relates to the USA story-naming convention (ground floor = story 1, instead of 0). That dialog box didn't get translated to American.

The dialog box is displaying the insertion height relative to the international '(US story number) storey elevation' in the box. There is some variable name in that code that needs to get fixed. Meanwhile you need to do the math (subtract 'story height' from whatever insertion elevation you want).

It didn't happen before with module insertion, but something related used to happen with the USA version in the Element Information window: the story information displayed the international story number.

Ten years later AC20 USA still hasn't quite figured this out. Now Module Settings shows what seems to be (module insertion height - story elevation). Element settings show the correct value.
