Technical question about level heights
When I am determining the total rise for a staircase I am doing it based on the following calculation for spanning levels/floors.

Elevation(Highest Level) + Height(Highest Level) - Elevation(Lowest level)

What I need to know is:
- Does Level Height include Floor Thickness?
- Does Level Elevation measure to the bottom of the floor or the top of the floor?

I think that for the last step to come out even with the floor I might need to adjust my formula to;

Elevation(Highest Level) + Height(Highest Level) + Floor Thickness(Highest Level) - Elevation(Lowest level)

but I am not 100%. I may just be overthinking it.
