Spot Elevations - Relative Base Greyed Out

[Anonymous]

I am trying to spot an elevation for a screed level, its 5mm bellow FFL.

I want to change the relative base but it doesn't give me this option, it's greyed out. See attached.

Suggestions more than welcomed, cheers1

In the Spot Elevation Properties, go to Elevation Origin. You can change it there Project Base Point, Relative, etc.

You may need to duplicate the Spot Elevation and make a new type for each setting.

Same is happening to me, I tried your suggestion but it did not work. 

I have been searching the wen for this issue with no luck.

Thanks,

It seems like you actually need to change the spot elevation base in type parameters to "Internal Origin", and then you will be able to change the Relative Base from there.  Seems strange that they changed that in Revit 2020.

For Revit 2020 this is THE solution

Select the spot elevation and go in Edit type. Under text, change Elevation origin to Relative.

What to do if the spot elevation has NO 'elevation origin' parameter to change to relative??

Hi, it's an old question, but in case someone else struggle : the parameter is at the top of the list, under "constraint". In your image, you are to low. See #1 in the image.

After you changed it to "relative", you need to select the spot elevation (see #2 in image) and select the level you need from the scrolling menu that appear just under the ribbon. See #3 in the image.

My Revit is in french, hope it can still be helpful.

Hi

I understand all your explanations, but i can't select "Relative", it's not an option in my project...

What can i do?
