I am trying to create a routine which will detect the elevation of a particular level in the current project then set the elevation system variable to it. Does anyone have any suggestions or think they can help?

Thanks
Jason

Can you post a picture of what you are trying to accomplish? It may help explain things better.

While I create a picture try this explanation.

I am currently using the project navigator in ADT2006 to put my projects together. I have buttons that runs small routines to switch between plans using layer filtering and changing display configs. Since all of my projects have the same levels I was hoping I could create a routine which would set the "Elevation" system variable to the elevation height of that level as defined in my levels of the project navigator.

For example, if my "Levels" in my project are defined as follows,
Name Elevation
"1st Floor Plan" 0'-0"
"1st Framing Plan" 9'-4"
"2nd Floor Plan" 10'-8 3/4"
"2nd Framing Plan" 19'-8 3/4"

I would like when I hit my button that switches me from the 1st floor plan to my 2nd floor plan, that not only will it filter layers and change the display configuration, but also detect what the "2nd Floor Plan" elevation height is and set the "Elevation" system variable to that height. In this case being 10'-8 3/4".

Does this make since?

Yes it does. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I would be able to help much, since I do not have ADT.

Maybe early next week, some of the regulars may have some time to look at this for you. You know the whole holiday thing.
