Changing the Datum Hight

Anonymous — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 01:42:52 GMT

I have a completed job that was originally done using a datum of 10.00, However the planner has requested that we work to A.D.H (Sea Level) so my drawings need to show the new levels. If I raise the model by adjusting the stories elevation, I would then need to go & adjust all the sections (15 in total) and the the work book layouts.

Is there a way of setting the levels without elevating the model?

.............. yes, see attached.
Mine shows my default AHD -1000.
Set to what the project requires and reference your dimensions accordingly.

Thanks Rod, too easy. I really should sit down & read the manual again.

You should still go through the S/E and check the level dimensioning, as well as the plan level dimensions, and check what do they refer to.

Thanks Djordje

You right, I sill had to change Dims to Reference Levels, but a lot easier than what I was going to do.
