Better ways to handle elevation

Anyone have any tips for handling elevation. I used to use one of the stat circles when you click a character token to record the height of a token above the floor however I was wondering if there was a more visible option to the players. Looking for something that would work in aerial or underwater battles where having a ground gradient wouldn't be helpful. 

With the API, I add multiple fluffy wings with the digits for the elevation. &nbsp;There's a Fly script that makes that easy, and also array notation for status markers in TokenMod. &nbsp; Requires a Pro subscription. Another option is dragging a rolled die onto the table next to the token and setting it's face to the elevation. &nbsp;You need to have&nbsp; Enable Advanced Dice turned on in the settings panel (pretty sure it's on by default), then you can issue a roll command like: /roll 1d20 Which will produce a d20 icon in the chat. &nbsp;Grab it and drag it onto the board, producing a Rollable Table Token for a 20 sided die. Right click it and choose Multi-sided -&gt; Choose Side, then adjust to a number between 1 and 20 representing your elevation. (See:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Collections#Using_a_Rolla" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Collections#Using_a_Rolla</a>... ) Color is controlled by your current player color, so you can temporarily adjust it to get a different colored die representing up/down, or ones/tens, etc.

You can also add the number 1-9 to a statusmarker without a pro subscription, which will likely be sufficient if you're willing to mark the height in a unit like grid cubes.

Or use multiple marks for the places.

I use that all the time when I need a marker for something, particularly as a player. =D

Thanks! I'll check it out.
