    Default Dynamic Block / Field for FFL

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hey people long time no speako... lots of new faces in here i know i've been gone a long time.

    Anyway i'll cut to the chase.... How do I....

    I want a dynamic block which indicates the FFL of a building and when i copy it up to the next floor above the FFL will update itself to show the correct Level.

    Now i've done this using a field but each time i move it i have to click on the field and update it so it show the correct figure... so i was wonderin if there is some way i can link this to a dynamic block or something so it just changes itself.!!

    Am i asking too much :-)

    Any ideas are more than welcome.

    When you "move" the block, will the actual "Z" coordinate of the block change?
    Is this the "elevation" that you want shown?
