Use this procedure to change the height of any elevation connected to the elevation line. You can change the height of the elevation line before or after you create a connected elevation. If you change the height after creating the elevation, you need to update the elevation to show the changes.
You can also change the height of an elevation using the Properties palette.
If you use model extents for height, the height of the elevation is determined by the height of the objects in the elevation and is not available to modify dynamically.
