Change Storey level without moving content

[Anonymous]

Hello there,
when you have surveyors that gives you wrong Levels at the beginning (or doesn't give them to you at all and you need to guess), it can happen that you need to adjust a storey level but do not want to change where everything contained on that storey is.

Is it possible?

Thank you.

How did that work out for you? Did you come up with a good solution?

Wouldn't "Relink to Home Story" do this?

The only way I know how to do it is to shift everything back down after changing the story up

That's the way I do it too. Not a big deal if you group things per Story first.

You can also do a find & select by home story

Thank you all.
has been a while, and have done it as Bruce suggested. Was hoping that there was a hidden box to tick with that option. (Hope is last to die).
Also, yes, show and unlock every layer on, show all on the reno filter and use find&select in 3D to group everything is the way to go. Then Ctrl+9 to elevate/drop of the exact height.
Btw, zones cannot be grouped as far as I know so, those will need to be selected separately

As a visual clue I would sometimes add like 10-20 m to the desired new story height, to create a very visible gap in 3D to show me exactly what is connected to which story. Also some elements like walls, collumns, downpipes, etc will need to be adjusted in height.

After I've stretched and moved what is needed, I just change the story height back to the proper value.

hi gents

'Edit elements by stories' from the right click menu of any story in model view seems to be the utility for that purpose.

Gives you the functionality to copy all things from one story to another, for example if you add a Mez between 0 and 1, you can shift things from 1 to Mez, and 2 to 1, etc without worrying about groups or 'select all' malarkey..

Just tried it with the same scenario Deviz, working from odd survey data of an existing building and needing to add a floor after much of the modelling had already been complete

This is the solution for me, thank you!
