About this asset

This NCS Level Head is a Revit annotation family designed to display floor levels and elevation data clearly in architectural drawings. The NCS Level Head follows standard United States National CAD Standard conventions for architectural documentation. It features a circular marker divided into four quadrants with alternating solid fill, typically used to denote a specific elevation datum point. The family is configured to display both the level name, such as First Floor, and the numerical elevation value below the horizontal reference line. Its geometry is clean and vector-based, ensuring crisp output when printed at various scales. This symbol provides a professional, uniform appearance for all building sections and exterior elevation sheets within a project set.

The download is a 164 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

To implement this family, load the RFA file into your current Revit project environment. Once loaded, navigate to the Level settings under the type properties of your level lines. Select this family from the drop-down menu to override the default system marker. Because it is a native Revit annotation, it will automatically scale according to the view's designated scale, maintaining consistent text legibility across all sheets regardless of the drawing's zoom level or final print size.

This level head is essential for architects, structural engineers, and interior designers working on large-scale commercial or residential projects. It is best utilised during the construction documentation phase to ensure clear communication of floor heights and datum points on elevation drawings and building sections. Professionals can pair this with standard dimension strings and callout tags to maintain a consistent graphic language across the entire drawing set. It is frequently used in projects adhering to the US National CAD Standard documentation requirements.
