Summary: We rarely link toposurfaces into our projects -- we build them in the project. Often we used Shared Coordinates to represent geodetic elevations while the project datums are relative elevations (main floor = 100') in project coordinates. Because toposurface points only work with Project Coordinates, it makes the process of using a toposurface object quite confusing. If toposurface points could also show Shared Coordinates, this would save us a lot of confusion.

Description: I wish point entities in toposurfaces could report Shared Coordinates as well as Project Coordinates.
