Assign DXF Elevation Numbers

The dxf Elevation Number assignment allows the user to specify how walls are to be grouped when the dxf elevation sheet is generated in RAM Manager. When this command is issued the user is prompted to select Wall Panels to which an elevation ID number will be assigned. There is no restriction on how this assignment may be made.

Wall Panels that share the same elevation number will be drawn as a single elevated wall in the dxf file when it is generated in RAM Manager. The exception is the case where the Wall Panels do not lie in the same plane. Two Wall Panels that have the same elevation number but do not lie in the same plane will be drawn in separate elevations on the dxf sheet.

Realizing there may be a correlation between the Wall Design Group assignments and the desired wall elevation scheme, for convenience the Wall Design Group numbers are displayed in addition to the elevation numbers when making this assignment. If a Wall Panel has not been assigned an elevation number, a "?" will be listed as the elevation number until one has been assigned.
