A Note on how this symbol works

  

The default interior elevation symbol is made up of 5 parts. The center circle, which contains the attribute for the sheet number reference, and four direction arrows, each with a sheet location attribute.

  

The symbol is inserted exploded so that the pieces come in separately. This allows you to erase any of the direction arrows that you don't need.
