View Full Version : Shared Coordinates, Survey Points and Graphical Column Schedule

So we have a project where our Archie decided using 100' base elevation didn't make sense. So he used shared coords and the survey points to change the elevations.
So I know I can change an elevation tag to read the Project Base Point or the Survey Point. What I can't seem to find is where I can select that for the Graphical Column Schedule? How Do I change the elevations that are shown on a GCS so they read the Survey point/shared coord point.
Thanks in advance.

Hi David,
Took me a while to remember what happened on this. We had attempted at one point to add a paratmer to the GCS which would allow you to show either project or shared and when I went to look for it I had to go track down why it wasn't there. The solution which was implemented was that if your levels' type property is set to "Survey Point" then the GCS will show shared coords for the level elevations.

Thanks Ken,
I guess the issue really came up after the schedule was already created. It appears that if you have a GCS set-up in a template file, you start your project, someone decides that "Hey lets use xxx'xx" for our elevation", you have to re-create the schedule.
That was our work around. It didn't seem to do anything if you've already had it created. Or at least that was my experience.
