Hi, does anyone know if there is a extension or some command that would give me the elevation height (z value) of on object in space. In autocad there is a command called ID which tells me the x,y,z coordintae of a point i pick in space. What I’m looking for is to pick the surfaces of my steel beams in space and to quickly make sure they are placed at the correct height.  
Thank you

I think the Query tool in the Utility Tools extension does this, although I haven’t tried it myself.
