Add level marks in drawings

Tekla Structures

A level mark (elevation dimension or spot elevation in plan) represents the elevation of a point. In addition to the automatic elevation dimensions that you can define in the drawing properties before creating the drawing, and the elevation information in the grid labels added in the model, you can also add manual level marks in your drawing to ensure that the dimensions are correct.

Note:

The shortening value added in the user-defined properties of a part also affects level marks.

Open a drawing.
On the Annotations tab, click Level mark.
If you need to modify the properties first, hold down Shift and click the command button.
For more information about the level mark properties, see Level mark properties.
For spot elevations in plan, pick the part.
Pick an associativity point for the leader line and a position for the mark.
The point you can pick depends on the active snap switches.

(1) Elevation information in the grid label

(2) Elevation mark created with Add level mark in the drawing

You can also add level marks in GA drawing plan views. In this case, you might want to leave the leader line out.
