Text macro question on two drawings with Open Below setting in rooms

[PMMully]

I do many designs with lofts, open spaces, etc.   I often use the text macro "Ceiling: %room.height.ceiling%", which works great. However, I noticed it does not work when I have a room above specified as Open Below in that space. When I put the macro on the second floor, it has the right value. But it makes no sense from the plan perspective for a client.

 

Is there any way to make this, or another macro, function so it reports the ceiling height of the room above, which is specified as Open Below?

why not not show it for that room type?

You could set a macro with a conditional statement that looks for a specific room name and then assigns a global variable to the ceiling height of the open below room that will report in that specific room names ceiling height
