Framing tag with Elevation at top

[Karol_Piroska]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know how (if its possible) to control the option for "Elevation at Top" in framing tag to read the actual level and not the project level?.

thank you

Elevation at Top reports the height from Project Base Point.

You may use another parameter named Reference Level Elevation to read actual level coordinates.
In R2017 you may use calculated values in tags to combine level and offset values.

Thanks Waldemar,

I didnt realise there was the calculated value option. The only thing is this will work just for one project (eg adding certain offset value to elevation at top). Or is there  any way option to add caluclated value survey-project point?

I tried the reference level before but that gives just the difference between the reference and beam level (obviously this would work for most structures).

Regards

Karol

I'm not sure if there is a possibility to built a shared paramater which reports the difference between Project Base Point and Survey Point.

It could be used in a beam tag to calculate level related to survey point.
Probably not.  I would have to try.

In Revit 2107 there are separated Elevation values in relation to Project and Survey points, but implemented for foundation elements and floors tags as more relevant.

It is not implemented for beams.

a small, a very important update to this. The solution works and you get the proper level only if the beam is at the same level or it's offset from level is defined by start/end level offset or positive z offset. If the beam is at different level defined by negative z offset value, this is ignored and you get the level with which the beam is associated with. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

Use GRAITEC PowerPack for Revit. 

https://www.graitec.com/powerpack-for-revit/

It has an option - Add parameter Beam elevations. 

It will create a Shared Parameter inside your Revit file. (it reads from the API the Survey Point of Top/Btm Elevation)

Then - export this shared parameter to your local shared parameter file. 

After, you can add this label parameter  (for a Structural Framing object) into your tag family for framings.
