Determine eye height with a click

[Kenny]

I know you can use the position camera tool to determine the eye height, however I'm working on a large site with complicated levels and it would be great to have a plug in that gives you the eye height with a simple click. A further useful feature would be an option to label the eye height with text with a simple click. Does such a plug in exist or is it possible to create one?

Thanks

The 'Add Height From Datum' Tool adds a piece of Text that reports its height relative to the origin or another datum. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=193238#p193238
If you set the datum as [0, 0, 5'6"] (assumed eye-level is 5'6"/1.6m above GL?) then wherever you click on a surface it reports 5'6" above it ?
Or just leave the datum at [0,0,0] and select the Text tags and move them all up vertically by 5'6" and they'll change to show the new height of the arrowhead above datum...

Thanks TIG, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Great stuff!

This is probably one of the MOST useful scripts I use when dealing with multilevel models.

It is a must for QA'ing your model and reviewing a model with a remote client.
