How to Reduce Mesh Height in Archicad 26?

How can I reduce the height of a mesh in Archicad 26? I used the Contour tool to extrude it, but now I need to make it shorter. Any suggestions?

Operating system used: Windows

That all depends on where the reference plane is in relation to the base and have you adjusted the top contour heights.

You can adjust the base height, but only up to the reference plane.

If that is near the bottom of the mesh, then in 3D, adjust the height of each node down by exactly the same distance.

There is another way, but I do not recommend it.

Change to height and home offset.

Adjust the top height to a negative figure.

The further up you go, the more of the reference line might disappear.

I don't think this is supposed to be allowed, so I would not do this unless you are desperate.

Your mesh does not seem to have to many top points, so adjusting the heights of the top points should be fairly easy (and the correct way).
