How can I create a datatag to label wall elevation info?

[DDD]

Hi all, 

 

Is there a way to create a data tag that will recognize wall objects and show their elevation info in plan view? I try to work it off from prebuilt wall tags but I can't find proper data link in it.

Try the Object Function #WALLOVRLHGHT#

Hi Tom,

thank you! This can work, though #WALLOVRLHGHT# is showing the wall height instead, I found another data tag #IPZL# can show the site model elevation. Sum those values will get me what I want.

 

Thank you.

Cool. I misunderstood what you meant by elevation in your orig post. But I think #IPZL# returns the height of the bottom of the Wall relative to the layer it's on so if you're looking to show the elevation of the top of the wall above sea level the layer elevation for the Wall layer will need to be 0...?

Yes I am working on exterior retaining walls on a site model. I am labeling walls using their top offset elevation so this works just fine for me.
