Civil vs. architectural elevations

[christo4robin]

I've seen a few threads on this, and I'm still confused.

Is it possible to have a site plan (topo labels specifically) reference a civil elevation (here in Boulder about 5,000 ft) and in sections, elevations, etc. have the level tags read in architectural (1st floot = 100'-0")?

Topo and building model are in one file (I saw something about linked files and don't get it yet).

Thanks,

Yes you can in 5.1. Refer to the tutorials for New in 5.1 and then the Item under Project Documents, Setting a project's base elevation.

This will take you through the steps needed to create a new level style that will use a "true" elevation value instead. You'll then "move" your project to the "true" elevation via a specific command to do so.

You can then decide which type any level will display.

Very cool, done it a few times now.
