To Raise or Lower Feature Line Level by Reference

Use the Raise/Lower By Reference command to raise or lower a feature line, based on a gradient, slope or relative level from a reference point.

Select the Pick option to pick any location in the drawing or use the transparent commands to select a COGO point or surface level.

1. Click Modify tabEdit Levels panelRaise/Lower By Reference Find.
2. Select the reference point to use. Select the Pick option to use OSNAP to pick any location, in the drawing or use the transparent commands to select a COGO point or surface level.

   The level of the selected point is displayed at the command line.

4. Select a point on the object you selected.

   The distance between the selected point and the reference point, and the level and gradient of the selected point, are displayed at the command line.

5. Do one of the following:
   • Enter a gradient. The gradient is applied between the reference point and the point on the feature line.
   • Enter Slope and enter a slope. The slope is applied between the reference point and the point on the feature line.
   • Enter Difference, and enter the level difference. The level difference is applied between the reference point and the point on the feature line.

   The assigned level for the point is displayed at the command line.

6. The original reference point remains active. Select another feature line to continue setting levels in reference to this point. Or, press Enter to end the command.
