to put an elevation mark in a section or elevation: 

[1] create a new level at an elevation relative to a gvien floor.  (int the detail attached, level 1 is at elevation 484.00, so create the new level "Zero" at -484.00) 

[2] Place a spot elevation on an element in a section (like the footing attached).   pull down drafting/spot dimension. 

[3] copy this spot elevation:  right clik on it and, elemenet propoerties / edit / duplicate

 [4] Make sure in the type properties "elevation origin" is ste to "relative"

[5] use this symbol in the drawing.  Right clik on it or right clik and "select all similar" and clik properties / relative base and pull down and select "zero", the level you created in step 1.
