Here is a mod file - elevate it. I am curious to know what this is hanging up on, yes, absolutely these are regular old level markers, dropped onto a mesh. I even elevated the mesh, yes, they remain dynamically linked to the mesh, values change as they oughtta...

This shouldn't make a difference - but who knows what magic your waeving up there mate. You mod file still doesn't yield any different results for me. Come to think of it, a PLN is probably more appropriate to capture the project settings.
Would you mind? 
Cheers,

1010 on a mactel, 17" powerbook. I opened the MOD after quitting and restarting archicad, it worked for me  This is vexing. Any marker I place on the mesh, or slab, at whatever level gives the desired result.
There's no magic here, just something to figure out. Hmmm. This is a US installation, not international, but that shouldn't make a difference.
BTW, it absolutely should work with metric. We need both dims here, metric for public projects and Imperial for the Imperialists...

ok. this is getting weirder. switching everything back to millimetres and my level dim settings back to metres, it all works now!
i swear it did not work before! and i haven't played with the red toggle thing either . . .

I am flabbergasted that it still isn't working for you! This shouldn't be an article of faith! It's a standard practice in our office, and became so useful for veryfing civil's work, we ended up making accurate meshes just for this purpose alone, then the practice migrated to doing level dimensions to top of slab for roof and parking levels. I don't know what else I can say.
