    Ceiling Height Tags & Split Levels

    Current project has a bunch of floor slabs that are plus or minus upwards of 36" above or below the nearest level and it is messing up my ceiling tags that should report ceiling height above floor, not above level (from a room finish / construct-ability standpoint.) Is there a way to have the ceiling / tag report height above floor rather than above level?

    Other than creating a level for every floor? I can't think of one.

      I use a Spot Elevation Tag since I've always dealt with split level projects, so I just suck to that for all my projects. That way I could specify the Datum over the Split Level/Double Height/Atrium Spaces to correspond. This, instead of using a Ceiling Tag.

        Could you clarify what you mean about specifying the datum? All I'm seeing in the settings are Relative (10.91'), Project Base Point (1.91') and Survey Point (544.91')

          I changed the nomenclature to Above Level (which isn't great but it's a start) for this reason as well as to point out that it's never been from finished floor.. unless finished floor is the level of course.

            I checked with the PM and that's what we are going with, although using a note on the sheet rather than saying 10'-0" AFF.

              So I use a "Relative Based" Spot Elevation. In the Options Bar you'll see "Relative Base:", so set that to the desired Level (aka: Datum). You may know this, but for those that don't, you can then in the Properties Palette go to "Single/Upper Value Suffix" to add the "AFF" note, or in the Type Settings create a Family Type using the "Elevation Indicator" as a Suffix with the desired Note/Abbreviation.
