DDD Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment

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. 1 Quote Link to comment

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. Quote Link to comment
