Intermediate Story Levels in Section-Elevation

[gpowless]

I love the new Story Levels marker in AC10 but am often plagued with having to dimension offset, floors, soffits, window heads, stepped footings etc. in sections. I would be extremely efficient and accurate if we could add additional non-linked level markers in individual sections or elevations. A small refinement with a huge impact, IMO.

Does the Elevation method of the basic Dimension tool do what you want?

No, not really. It is a bit more clumsy and I think we would be better off if we could define a level - say window heads (in the same manner as choosing a reference level) and have it appear on all of our sections, or not. What interested me was showing a typical garage section and only having the ability to automatically show the 1st storey level. In this case it would be nice to be able to show the garage slab level without having to play with the storey definitions....

I agree with this being a very important add. However, I think the main reason for this is to address situations where you have a split level type of building. Either a split-level house, or a commercial building that's situated on a sloping site, and where split levels are desirable.

I realize that there could be some "fake" levels shown (lines, dims, etc.) as a workaround, but an automatic one would be better.
