It looks like they work in section viewports but not "elevation" viewports.

This is new for 2019.

What a waste of time

That's how I set drawings up too - Geodetic. There are issues with that too.

Yeah, it seems this is document related. I see it more than one document though and I'm not sure what has changed to cause it.

Strange. If I find out why, I'll let you know.

I just opened an old file and tried it. It shows elevations relative to sea level.

copied the correctly behaving one to the other file and *wham* wrong elevation comes up.

It seems strangely related to the document.

I use it in section viewports , elevation viewports and in plan view to automatically show the elevation of objects or the floor level.

It was automatic and worked well. They seem to have broken it in VW 2019. It does not pick up the elevation of anything. It seems to arbitrarily pick some random height and then use that as a reference. Worse, it doesn't seem to be consistent. Sometimes zero relates to sea level, other times, zero is the main floor elevation, currently, in the viewport I am working on (a building elevation) zero is 7' 6 1/2" above the floor, for some reason.

It's a grab bag of results - I never know what I'm going to get. 

Are you seeing this at all?

Aside from the broken aspect, I have been requesting all units to be available too. Dumb that we have to switch our document units to get it to work in metric.

Best,

Bill
