I have been using a lot a dotted line to "extend" the level mark too... I wonder if it wouldn't be cool to add that possibility directly to the BuildingPart object

Test using BuildingPart to show an elevation of the element in the building.

You create a building part for each element in the model. Why?

You create a building part for each element in the model. Why?

For construction work, to show an elevation of each element and to find the elevation of pile's cut.
It's better than if the structural element can show elevation.

if it doesn't contain any object, the BuildingPart object is very lightweight... It can very well be used as a simple "marker".
We could enhance it to have different possible displays, for example instead of the "cross" have those level arrows commonly used. Always space for improvement

Also, with expressions, you are able to do very neat tricks, such as binding the Z coordinate of the BuildingPart to the z coord of a vertex of a column...

Working my way through the Artigas tutorial, I had some challenges making the 'WindowWall' of the Studio

Using Arch BuildingPart object made it easy

Maybe buildingpart could provide this mark for all contained elements. This way we can storage several columns in one buildingpart container. And we can turn on/off this feature for everyone.
