AutoCAD Architecture - Project Levels for each Project Division

[jtm2020hyo]

Is there any method to create Project Levels for each different Project Division?

I mean:

Project-Division A each level = 3 meters

Project-Division B each level = 2.7 meters

...

etc.

So far as I know, there is not a way to have Division-specific Levels.  You can, of course, only create Constructs for specific combinations of Level and Division.

So if you had Division A and Division B,  and Levels:

4 [elevation 6000]

3 [elevation 5400]

2 [elevation 3000]

1 [elevation 2700]

0 [elevation 0]

You could have Constructs for A & 0, B & 0, A & 1, B & 2, A & 3 and B & 5.

If having non-consecutive Level names in a division is not to you liking, you could name them: 

B2 [elevation 6000]

A2 [elevation 5400]

B1 [elevation 3000]

A1 [elevation 2700]

0 [elevation 0]

If I am incorrect about my initial statement, I am sure someone will chime in and point out the error.

a bit tricky but works.

Is there any method to create levels and divisions with CSV file or similar? (maybe lisp)

I have never tried to do that.  I do not recall seeing that discussed, but that does not mean it cannot be done.  I have never looked into whether any of the Project Browser/Project Navigator API is exposed in ActiveX.

If you are familiar with XML, you can edit the project .APJ file; levels and divisions are stored like this:

<Level Id="4" ScheduleId="3" Elevation="700" Height="300" Name="Cobertura" Description="Cobertura"/>
<Level Id="3" ScheduleId="2" Elevation="350" Height="350" Name="Superior" Description="Pav. Superior"/>
<Level Id="2" ScheduleId="1" Elevation="0" Height="350" Name="Térreo" Description="Pav. Térreo"/>
<Level Id="1" ScheduleId="A" Elevation="-280" Height="280" Name="SubSolo" Description="Pav. Subsolo"/>
<Division Id="1" ScheduleId="AT" Name="Anteprojeto" Description="Anteprojeto"/>
<Division Id="2" ScheduleId="AP" Name="Aprovação" Description="Aprovação"/>
<Division Id="3" ScheduleId="Ex" Name="Executivo" Description="Executivo"/>
<Division Id="4" ScheduleId="AQ" Name="Arquivo" Description="Arquivados"/>

I hope a day Autodesk can update this feature. No matter how good is Revit, definitely ACA have many potential.

@jtm2020hyo You'll have to make an effort yourself to ask for new features, here is the site where they look for user feedback https://www.autodesk.com/company/contact-us/product-feedback
