Does anyone know a way to remove the elevation tags from the levels on the graphical column schedule? I want to see the names of the levels but the elevations are not accurate to what the actual t/steel is. (sloping roofs that have varied levels, etc.)

Thanks!

Are you meaning the distance between levels?  It is not an elevation.  Members are shown graphically.  If the floor to floor is 10', the number will be 10' and if the steel goes 10' it will show level to level.  If it goes 9', it will show shorter.

The actual number is what I'm trying to get rid of. Like in your image,first floor is showing 0'-0" and second floor is showing 10'-0". I need those numbers to go away because they are not accurately representing the actual top of steel. The number is just an arbritary number that the t/steel elevation is based upon. For example, if the actual top of steel is 116'-0" and the second floor elevation is 114'-0", the elevation of a particular is set at second floor plus 2'-0". That's great for a revit user, but that number of 114'-0" means nothing to a steel fabricator or contractor. So I want it to not show up on the schedule.

This is not a top of steel number.  It is only a graphical reference based on the true distance between your levels.You can hide levels you don't want to show.

I want to show the levels, just not the elevation of them.

You can't....Not that I can see.

I don't understand your objection but that's the answer as I see it.  Your options:

1. Don't use the schedule
2. use a masking region in paper space << dumb idea buecause it will burn you somtime.
3. Turn off all levels and add lines and text in paper space

Thanks!

My objection is that it says one elevation which is not accurate to the steel. Sure, one should logically see that a column is sticking up 2' above the level, but I've had RFIs asking how roof structures work when they are not reading the plans, only glancing at the column schedule. My fix for this was to make an opaque text box saying "SEE PLAN" for the elevation and then just pasting it over the elevation tag.
