C3D-0160 · READ-ONLY: the FEMA / flood note as it stands [FEMA-READ] error

Finds the flood note wherever it lives - as a block attribute, an attribute definition inside a block definition, or plain text - across every layout and block definition, reporting the exact text, tag, height and layer. No changes.

C# payload

// READ-ONLY. The FEMA / flood note as it exists right now - the exact text, whether it is an
// attribute or plain text, and where it lives. Searched across every layout AND every block
// definition, since the note lives inside the title block definition rather than model space.
// Nothing is modified.
