Level head text - display in elevation view

in

I've presented this question in the past to several forums but no one seems to understand what I am asking. Please see the attachment.

I have had a couple of responses telling me to use spot elevation tags to achieve this. Unless I'm wrong, spot elevations will initially display the same height information (relative to first floor height). Each of these then would need to be changed manually to display the desired text. Each instance of this manual process adds time to the project and presents another opportunity for the introduction of human error in the text manipulation, both of which are extremely counterproductive to my work.

In production housing design automatic and global control of repetitive information is essential. I need to be able to access a single setting that will allow me to set the display of this information once for the entire project.

Excellent question

Sorry for the late reply, excellent question however. I can't see a proper solution to this problem. We have struggled with this in our office as well.

I can see two workarounds:

The first and simplest would be to use standard dimensions (probably two sets of ordinates) and turn the level head elevation text off.

The other way would be to create two level types.
In one of the level types set the Type Parameter "Elevation Base" to 'Shared'.
Set the second floor and levels above to this new 'shared' level type.
Now use "Tools->Project Position/Orientation->Relocate this Project" and move from the second floor down to the 0 level
The second floor and up levels will now use this shared 0 point instead of the project 0 point.

Hope that helps
