I am attached a Revit model showing the spot elevation (highlighted in yellow). This tool is very handy to know the height of an element. Is any similar tool in aecosim (SS5) to view the elevation / height?

Hi Kumar,
The Label Coordinates tool might work for that purpose.
Label coordinate tool is not loading. Showing following error message (highlighted in yellow). How to fix this?
In Drawing and Sheet models the graphics are all on the cut plane so any annotation will only pick up the z height from the cut plane. However annotation of actual z-heights is possible in these model types:
This will display the 3d model instead of the 2d cut symbology
You can then use the Label Coordinate tool to annotate spot heights:
Note the settings can be modified to suit the required label as indicated by this example.
Then reverse the reference presentation settings either manually or by 'Update From Saved View', the cut symbology is restored, the annotation remains:
The font, terminator and other attributes for the Label Coordinate symbol can be modified to your own requirements/standards in the Annotate Tool Settings dialog:
The unit could be set to mm and the accuracy to 0 to show mm when the label is placed.
These changes are stored by default in the active project's \support\dataset\settingAnnotationCellScaleOverrides.rsc file (controlled by the TFANNOTATION_OVERRIDES variable).
(Note at present the <useActive> setting results in the 'Standard' font being used, so select the appropriate TrueType font, I used Arial in the example. Defect 142260 has been filed regarding this.)
Regards
Marc
