I have to get a set over to the city--is there a way to have the contour labels display shared elevations?

Thanks!

Chris,

What do you mean by shared elevations? Does your project have other project(s) linked to it?

I'm referring to a project base elevation vs. a shared elevation--new feature in 5.1. I can set level heads (in sections and elevations) to display one elevation or the other, also can do that with spot elevations in plans, but I want to set the topographic contour labels to display the "shared" elevation, not the project elevation.

I'm using the shared elevation to set the civil benchmark, in this case, finish floor is 5,580 feet. The project elevation sets the other levels to display architecturals--2nd floor @ 110'-0", etc.

Any thoughts? Doesn't seem possible from what I've seen.

Maybe this should be a wishlist item.

I see your dilema. The only work-around I can think of would be to drop the topo to the shared elevation so the topo contour labels match, or, turn off the topo labels & manually label a few with text.

Wishlist item, i guess...
