To Modify the Elevation of Points at the Survey Command Line

Use the Survey Command Window to modify the elevation of points.

The elevation modification commands are intended to work only with control and non-control points.

To modify the elevation of a single point

  1. In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click the network that you want to edit, and click Survey Command Window.
  2. At the Command line, enter:

    MOD ELEV [point 1] (elevation)

To modify the elevation of a multiple points

  1. In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click the network that you want to edit, and click Survey Command Window.
  2. At the Command line, enter:

    MOD ELEVS [point 1] [point 2] [elevation]

To modify point elevation by an increment

  1. In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click the network that you want to edit, and click Survey Command Window.
  2. At the Command line, enter:

    MOD ELEV BY [point 1] (amount)

    or

    MOD ELEVS BY [point 1] [point 2] (amount)

Example

This example modifies the elevation of point 2 from 33.528 to 32.004 and then increases the elevation of point 2 by an increment of 10.0. Elevations are in the current units, unless you type a qualifying suffix:

NEZ 1 100 100 30.480

NEZ 2 200 200 33.528

MOD ELEV 2 32.004

! POINT 2 ELEVATION: 32.004

MOD ELEV BY 2 10.0

! POINT 2 ELEVATION ADDED: 42.004
