Currently topography elements may only be created and edited relative to the Project File Origin Elevation (Absolute Elevation). Please provide the option, both at time of creation and AFTER creation, to WORK in Coordinates relative to the Project Base Point (PBP) OR the Survey Point (SP).
I understand we can use Spot Coordinates Labels and Contour Labels to REPORT coordinates relative to the PBP or SP, but we don't have the option, when adding/editing a topo surface by points for example, to specify the points, while editing, relative to our coordinate system of choice. These numbers are always fixed relative to the file origin, forcing us to: a. create topography in a separate file b. move the topography element vertically to work on it, and then move it back c. do the math manually to calculate the difference, point-by-point, between our Survey or Project Elevation (whichever is being used for project elevations) and the Absolute elevation d. Move all the Project Content vertically to the correct elevation relative to the file origin-- which is usually ill-advised and not always possible to do if using Shared Coordinates. No bueno.
Seems like an uncomplicated upgrade with huge benefits. Cheers!
