To Change the Lower Extension of an Elevation Using Grips

Use this procedure to change the lower extension of any elevation connected to the elevation line. You can change the lower extension of the elevation line before or after you create a connected elevation. If you change the lower extension after creating the elevation, you need to update the elevation to show the changes.

You can also change the lower extension of an elevation using the Properties palette.

  1. On the floating View panel, click View drop-down SW isometric.
  2. Select the elevation line you want to change.
  3. Select the Model Extents grip to turn off model extents for height mode.

    If you use model extents, the default for the lower elevation is 1 foot below the XY plane.

  4. Select the Lower Extension grip.
