Hello I would like to add parameter to my level annotations markers, to illustrate brick courses aswell in brackets. So i would like its to look at level marker and divide by 75mm and show next to the numbers below. Should i do this as a label in the family? i have attached the family

I don't understand.  You want what to "look at" what and do what?

Add a shared text parameter to the label in the family. Then add the same shared parameter to the project and assign it to Levels category.

Yes you can add it as a new label or edit the current elevation label.

So the bottom lines of the brick are always at 0 elevation? Everywhere?

 

I rather use that calculated value in a line based detail family so that you can place it anywhere and it still reports the correct rows.

yes the ground floor level is 0 and each brick course is 75mm so 10mm mortar , 65mm brick, So doors,windows etc are always in increments of 75mm. A Door is 2100mm = 28 courses etc. Brick layers like to know how many brick courses rather that a distance. I dont  understand what you were on about with a line based option?

Your rows count should based on the dimensions of the walls, not just the top of them.  If a wall starts at the second level @ 10m then how do you count the rows?
