moving building down 2' (changing elevation of building)

Miner
Contributor

I can't figure out how to best lower my building 2'.  I have the project 100% complete so there are many parts involved.  I have the site modeled and everything is accurate to sea level.  Ie, the building is set to 6326' (project zero) and I want it to be 6324' (with a new project zero set to that elevation).

 

When I try all the ways to move the building I get different results so I know I'm doing things wrong.  This is very frustrating as I must not understand how Archicad work in relation to project zero, stories, etc.

 

Should I just change sea level and then move the site mesh, roads, and tress up 2'?  Will that allow everything to remain related to project zero and not be all messed up?

 

Thank you!

If you are wanting to keep your building at pZero, then your only option is to change your Sea Level setting. If you have modelled all the context in a way that allows you to isolate it, then moving that up is simple too.
