Terrain Elevation Line Question

[JKEdmo]

Good morning,

 

How do I change how my elevation line labels read?  I'd like decimal feet with no decimal point and units for example 88 as opposed to 88.00 ft.

 

Note that what's shown are manual terrain elevation lines and not contours.

 

Thanks again,

 

Jim

How did you get what you are already showing?

 

Assuming you are using a "specified" label, you should be able to use %elevationf% to get the same as the automatic label.  If you want it formatted differently, you can use %elevation% and add your own formatting options such as %elevation.to_ft.round(0)%.  If you need something more complicated, then you would probably need to write your own custom macro.

Just out of the box output.  I don't know anything about macros, but your second suggestion works perfectly.  Thanks for that fix!

Don't display your elevation lines, instead turn on contours, primary and/or secondary

I don't want to.  I am duplicating topo lines from a survey drawing and I want them to closely match, so hence the manual input.  I found that the auto-generated terrain contour lines don't match close enough for my purposes.
