The difference is 540mm so it's definately under a metre...It sounds easier to keep everything on one story. Would it be the best then to move objects, slabs, doors etc in elevation/section mode or from the ie Wall Selection Settings?
Thanks for the tip guys, you've been very helpful!
If you have these things already placed and need to move them there are several ways, and they all have their own merits. Use the Elevate command (CMD+9 on MAc or CTRL+9 for PC) in plan and input the amount. Do this in the 3D window and you can drag things vertically on screen. In Section / Elevation use the Drag command.
Sometimes its easier to select a wall (for instance) and just change its base setting in the Info box, then the top plate height remains the same.
Skin a cat = many ways.

You can control the visibility of every story in the Story Settings dialog - there is checkbox for each story that determines if that story level line (and possibly name) will appear in sections or not.
how can i make a separate levels out off my story levels by work around . i think that i cannot make it with out work around . my problem is how to add plans of a separate section higher than another sections without displaying name of this new story in the other sections ?!
