Elevate in 3D Window

Can I elevate an object in the 3D window by inputting the desired distance?
I know I can drag graphically or input an Elevation (z coordinate). Tracker is on... it shows the distance I'm moving (elevation)... but I want to, for example .... elevate the roof 2'-3 1/8" by inputting that distance.
Is it possible?

The difference between using Elevate in the 3D window as opposed to the Floor Plan window, no matter whether you use Edit>Move>Elevate, context menu, Ctrl/Cmd+9, or the pet pallete, is that the Elevate dialog does not appear in 3D. Just watch your Status Bar.

If you have the tracker on, you can tab into it and enter the relative distance in the Elevation setting or the absolute distance in the Z setting (if you've chosen to show it in your WE). Or you could use your coordinate box to input absolute distances.

Elevation Setting? .. My eyes have been consistently glossing over that word ELEVATION and going straight to Distance.

Thanks Mate.

I knew you'd always go the distance mate, but that's just ridiculous!

INSERT F-Bomb HERE.

It's like: ..."to continue, press any key".... Where's the ANYKEY?
