Hello,  
Pix4Dmapper can export a Digital Surface Model (DSM) that includes the elevation of the surface points.  
If by _elevation_ you refer to a profile/section, unfortunately, Pix4Dmapper does not generate such an output. For more information, see this post: [Generating elevation profiles](https://community.pix4d.com/t/generating-elevation-profiles/12689)

However, Pix4Dcloud, our online processing platform, does generate profiles. For more information: [How to generate an Elevation profile on Pix4Dcloud](https://support.pix4d.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000817263-How-to-generate-an-Elevation-profile-on-Pix4Dcloud?source=search)
