Is there a way to show the structural slab level via a spot level (top of the core element of a floor). At the moment all i can get it to show is the ffl?

Thanks for the help guys.

In both section & plan, just use the spot dimension tool.  This only works at the edges (boundry) of the slab.  In plan, turn off your underlay so you don't catch the floor below. 

If you want it somewhere in the floor field, you could drop in a floor based entity (say a cross hair or dot) that you can then tag.

I tried placing my spot dimensions on the slab edge, but it still only gives me the FFL - is there a setting somewhere that I have to set so that it takes levels at the core of the floor rather than the top of the finish? (my floor buildup is concrete, impact insulation, screed, finish)

 Ps - Im using Revit 9.1

Now I understand what you want.  Although REVIT distiquishes between structural core and finish for walls and therefore gives you the ability to dimension accordingly, it does not do so for floors.  To do what you want, I think you would have to have multiple floors.  Easy enough to do. 

-    Edit your floor

- copy to clipboard your linework

- change the properties of the current floor to become your core & finish

- start a new floor

- paste aligned  - same place your linework

- Give this floor new properties and location & finish

Change your depth of view so you will include your core and now you should be able to tab through your selection to find the core.

Thx Hub, ill give it a try - i just hope that Autodesk adds adds a parameter to the spot dimensions so that you can define if you want the level of the core/substrate/finish.
