Editing Elevation

If the elevation changes after one or more grade objects have been placed, there is no need to replace the existing grade objects. Change the elevation of one end of a grade object, or offset the elevation of selected (or all) grade objects in the drawing.

Elevation marker symbols must be at a valid scale to edit elevations. If the Edit Elevation dialog box does not open, increase the marker scale factor for the grade object.

To edit grade object elevation:

1. Click the Grade tool from the appropriate tool set:

●    Designer and Landmark workspace: Site Planning tool set

●    Architect and Spotlight workspace: Building Shell tool set

2. Select Edit Elevation mode from the Tool bar.

3. Click at the start or end of a grade object.

On the Edit Elevation dialog box, edit the grade.

Click to show/hide the parameters.
