How does Founder mark the elevation?
In architectural design and construction, elevation marking is a very important task, which is directly related to the vertical positioning and construction accuracy of the building. This article will introduce in detail how to mark elevations in Founder software, and provide you with comprehensive guidance based on the hot topics and hot content on the entire network in the past 10 days.
1. Basic concepts of elevation marking

Elevation refers to the vertical height of a certain part of a building relative to the datum. In architectural drawings, elevations are usually measured in meters and are marked on plans, elevations and sections.
| Elevation type | Description |
|---|---|
| absolute elevation | Elevation calculated with the elevation datum uniformly prescribed by the country or region as the zero point |
| relative elevation | Elevation calculated with the indoor ground floor on the ground floor of the building as the zero point |
| Building elevation | The elevation of the finished surface of the building |
| Structural elevation | Elevation of building structural surface |
2. Operation steps for elevation marking in Founder software
1. Open Founder Construction Software and create or open a project file
2. Select the "Elevation Dimension" tool in the "Dimension" toolbar
3. Click in the drawing area where the elevation needs to be marked.
4. Enter the elevation value in the pop-up dialog box
5. Set the style and unit of the elevation dimension
6. After confirming that everything is correct, click "OK" to complete the annotation.
| Operation steps | Detailed description |
|---|---|
| Step 1 | Start the Founder Architecture software and ensure that you are currently in the plan or elevation working environment |
| Step 2 | Find the "Annotation" option in the top menu bar and select "Elevation Annotation" in the drop-down menu. |
| Step 3 | Move the cursor to the location that needs to be marked, and the software will automatically capture the key points. |
| Step 4 | Enter the precise value in the pop-up elevation labeling dialog box, and you can set the plus or minus sign. |
| Step 5 | Different elevation symbols such as triangles and circles can be selected in the style settings. |
| Step 6 | After completing the settings, click Confirm and the elevation mark will automatically be displayed at the specified location. |
3. Things to note when marking elevations
1. Elevation markings should be clear and readable and avoid overlapping with other markings.
2. Elevation markings on the same project should remain consistent in style.
3. The elevation value should be accurate to three decimal places.
4. The elevation of important parts should be reviewed
5. Elevation markings should be coordinated with dimension markings
