but the idea is how can i assign the floor elevation?? it didn't work with me any sugesstion ?

What step didn't work exactly? 

In step 1 and 2 you are supposed to make a floor elevation property for all pipe run components. Once you have done that you can set the floor elevation in that property for each piping component.

We are going to need more information.

Thansk for you replay,
I did all the steps but i didn't know how to assign the floor elevation value for my pipe, should i added manually in the properties menue?

Yes, 

When you select the pipe component that you wish to annotate, you should see the floor elevation property. Fill that in and you should see your calculated property give you the correct value of the difference between the Z-level and the floor level.

If your calculated property remains blank, try the PLANTREFRESHACQPROPERTY command to refresh acquisition rules and others. If it still remains blank, go over all the steps again one by one.
