Text above spot elevation

[Marcus.Isacsson]

Hi fellas!

Is it possible to add text above the 'spot elevation' as a part of the tag somehow?
We want to add the level information (manually or automatically)

use suffix and prefix from properties palette.

I use the same option to specify as FFL (Finished Floor Level) or SFL(Structural Floor Level).

hope this helps.

The text doesn't appear above the elevation mark, it appears before the +xx.xx.

HI

Are you looking for Fixed Text Above the number or 

Custom Text  , unique for Each Spot Elevation?

Custom text above each plus height, "Level xx"

You may create Spot Elevation Tag - separate for Each level by editing "Symbol "used in Tag

I have added text "Level 1" in the symbol and it shows up the way its placed in the symbol..

you may create that for various levels.. 

Find the symbol used in Elevation Tag, and edit itText Added in the SymbolText shows along with the Elevation tag..

@Corsten.Au Well, it's 35 levels. Having to create 35 families, and then scroll through them and so on seems like a pretty bad solution to be honest....

Feels strange that you wouldn't be able to add a manual text field (or automatic level). This is possible with so many other tags.

I agree .
Hopefully someone here will come up with some solution...
this requirement is very specific...
All spot elevation can be categorised few types
1. Absolute elevation
2. Relative to level
Etc ...

Best luck

Four years later- Same issue - here is a 'not-ideal solution'... but it works: SYMBOL TYPES.

Create a generic annotation TEXT label, tie the text to a TEXT parameter in the symbol.

The elevation symbol types(1)

Modify the text for the label (2) Leave blank for none.

(3) A generic annotation with text label

(4) value for labels set to (5) TEXT Parameter in ELEVATION symbol.

Created types of ELEVATION marker system family in project:

(1) Spot elevation example to (2) Edit type of the (3) Family and (4) Family type

(5) Select one of the SYMBOL annotations created above.

Not ideal but there is no way to add text on the fly - especially when mimicking the "level" look.
