What is an elevation marker?

An elevation marker is a symbol or notation added to a plan or drawing to indicate the vertical height or elevation of a specific point or feature in a building or site. Elevation markers are commonly used in architectural and engineering drawings to provide a visual representation of the height of walls, floors, ceilings, and other elements, and to ensure accuracy and consistency in the construction process. Elevation markers can take the form of lines, arrows, numbers, letters, or other symbols, and are usually accompanied by a legend or key that explains their meaning.
