Most elements can be raised or lowered using the Elevate tool on the element’s right-click menu. Some elements, such as roofs, do not provide access to the Elevate tool. In the case of a roof, you can raise or lower it by changing the Support Height variable in its properties.
Many block elements (like furniture and plants) also have a Distance above current location or terrain variable in their properties that you can use to raise or lower the element.
To raise or lower an element using the Elevate tool:
Select the element you want to raise or lower.
Right-click and select Elevate, or select Edit > Modify Elements > Elevate. The value shown in the Elevate dialog is the current elevation of the element.
In the Elevate dialog, specify the desired elevation of the element above the floor. If the element is a landscaping element, the value you specify is relative to the terrain. The distance you enter is the distance from the floor or terrain to the insertion point of the element. For most elements, the insertion point is at the base of the element. For windows and wall openings, however, the insertion point is at the top of the element. Therefore, if you are raising or lowering a window or wall opening, specify the desired distance from the floor to the top of the window or opening.
Click OK.
To raise or lower a block element by editing its properties:
Select the element you want to raise or lower.
Right-click and select Properties, or select Edit > Modify Elements > Properties.
In the properties dialog, select the Behavior tab. If there is no Behavior tab, you will need to use the Elevate tool to raise or lower the element.
Edit the value in the Distance above current location or terrain edit box.
Click OK.
