Tim,

With a bit of prompting from Jerry above, I finally figured out how to get the floor level macro to work.
The trick is that you can't just place it in a room - it needs to go in with the room label - either the default room label (it will then display in every room) or on a room by room basis.

Open the Text Macro Management dbx.
Click New.
Name: Finished Floor Elevation
Value: %finished_floor_elevation%
Leave Evaluate unchecked
OK
Done

To place the macro in the default room label dbx:
Defaults...Rooms...Room Label
Leave a blank line (the Room Label will automatically place on this line when a room is named).
On the next line type: Finished Floor Elevation: %Finished Floor Elevation%

Now, whenever you name a room, the finished floor elevation will display under the room name.

If you don't want to display the floor level for every room, don't do the above, rather, place the macro in the Room Name box on the General tab of the room dbx (you can place it in front of or after the room name.

Any changes to the floor level will be reflected in the text.
