We as an office are new users to Revit. So far things have been going well. Our trainer told us that we should set up our project as it would be in real on-site and use geodetic elevation for our levels. This is great as it is very accurate, however we do not show geodetic elevation anywhere other then our side plan. Our geodetic main floor elevation is 570 558, but we would show on our drawings for this to be main floor elevation 10 000. Is there a setting or anything that we can do that we leave our levels as geodetic, but have them read like our standards of 10 000?

I hope this is somewhat clear.
Thanks MC

From your HELP:>The setting of your level can be... "If the origin value is set to Project, then the elevation reported is with respect to the project origin. If set to Shared, then the elevation reported is with respect to the shared origin. If the base value is set to Relative, then the elevation reported is with respect to the level in the Relative Base instance parameter. You can change the shared origin by relocating the project. See Relocating and Mirroring a Project. "
