Does anyone know of a method to change the elevation symbol to display similar to the sections heads. That is, round with a horizontal line through the middle. Then have the sheet number at the bottom and there view number at the top? From what i understand it can't be done because the elevation symbol is built into Revit and is not a family annotation file like a section head.

Does anybody know any different?

Mr Spot,

the elevation symbol is a system family and as such are not available for loading or creating/editing.

You can however do subtle changes to its appearance by
1. Highlight the elevation tag and select it.
2. Click Properties.
3. The Element Properties dialog box appears.
4. Click Edit/New.
5. Modify the appropriate property values by clicking in the Value fields.
6. Click OK twice to save your changes.

hope that assists

Just as I thought. I think is rather silly. Why have user definable section heads and not elevations??

Sounds like it should be on the wishlist if not already!!
