Options - Show Property - Column and Wall Elevations

Options - Show Property - Column and Wall Elevations is a toggle command that is used to both display and remove the top of column and top of wall elevations from the screen. Issuing the command once places a checkmark beside the menu item, indicating that the command is active. The values are then displayed on the screen. Issuing the command a second time removes the values from the display as well as the checkmark from the menu.

The Elevations are listed relative to the story height: a value of 0.00 indicates that the top of column or wall is at the same elevation as the story; a positive value indicates that the top of column or wall is raised above the story by the amount shown; a negative value indicates that the top of column or wall is lowered below the story by the amount shown.

This command can be used in conjunction with the other Options - Show Property commands and with Options - Show Brace Points and Options - Show Fixity. The other Options - Show commands will automatically remove the values from the screen.

The Options - Scale Text command can be used to increase or decrease the size of the text.

The Layout - Columns - Modify Elevation command is used to modify column elevations.

The Layout - Walls - Modify Elevation command is used to modify wall elevations.
