Levels in Meters

[metier3]

I wonder if I could impose on the knowledge of all within these forums with a problem I have.
I am a relevant newbie to Revit so this may be a simple answer. I have a project with it's units set to millimeters but I wish to show the level on elevation in meters, but still keeping the global project units in millimteres. Is there a way of setting units only for the elevation views to meters? I thought it could be done in the level head family by adding a fromula to the elevation paramater, but I have so far come up short. Attached is pic of what I would like to achieve.
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to create a new Level Head family tag that has the units set to Meters, save it with a new name then load it into the project. To change the Level Head family units select the Elevation label in the family editor and then select the Edit Label button on the Option bar. In the Edit Label dialog window select the Elevation under Category parameters or Label Parameters columns and under the Label Parameters area is an icon that looks like a pointing hand over a pound sign (#). Select the Edit parameter's unit format and uncheck Use Porject Settings, change the units to meters and any other settings you require. Load the family into the Project.

Select all of the Level lines in elevations, sections and callouts that you want to change to this new Level Head family, open the element properties for the System Family: Level, select Edit/Newto open the Type Porperties dialog window and select the new family Level Head name from the Symbol parameter Value column drop down list.

All other dimensioning will be based on Project Units or View specific overrided project units.

Mel thanks,you are a life saver.

it's really quite simple when you are shown how.
For the life of me i looked everywhere within the label parameters, except for the parameter unit format. maybe it was because it was 2 am and i couldn't think straight.

Once again I appreciate you taking the time to help out and maybe one day ( in the distant future) I can repay you with one of my tips.

Keep on Reviting
