Plan View Elevation Markers

[robdyck]

I know this has been discussed a lot, but I'm wondering if there's a simple method to get an elevation marker in plan view to display a room's floor elevation in the format shown in the image? I can figure out a bit of the number formatter thing, but I can't get it to return a floor or ceiling elevation. The automatic macro returns this value in inches and the same thing is true for the data in a schedule.

Just to frustrate you Chief does this for some strange reason.

 

 

But I think you will actually need to write a proper macro to do that using the Measurement Class.

 

Shoot me a PM if you get stuck.

Thank-you Eric! I've watched your video, but seeing this (combined with the info in your video) is helping to make sense of how the NF works. I had something very similar but was getting an eval.. error and that's because I was inserting the room macro in those brackets. I appreciate your help.

What NOT to use:

%room.elevation.ceiling%

%room.elevation.floor%

Can't say it would have occurred to me to use the %height% macro in plan view.

Thanks Eric,   That seems to be a big step in the right direction that appears to work rather than chiefs teaser %heightf%
