Changing multiple objects "up" a storey without affecting their 3D placement

Anonymous

Is there a way to say select multiple objects in 3D, then change their "home" storey to a different storey, without having their placement in 3D change?

For example, sometimes when I'm modelling in 3D, the objects I've created are assigned to the wrong storey for whatever reason. Usually what I'd have to do is select the object, copy the "To Project Zero" dimension, change their home storey up a storey (which will automatically increase their "To Project Zero" dimension", then paste the original dimension back again to prevent it from moving up.

However if I had five objects that I needed to do this two, that would take some time.

Is there a way I would be able to change multiple object's home storey all at once without affecting their placement in 3D?
