Issue Description
You need to adjust the distance between the 1st Floor and 2nd Floor without impacting the height of other floors in relation to the project’s datum. An attempt was made to modify the height through Story Settings, but this adjustment caused all floors above to shift as well. How can the height between the 1st Floor and 2nd Floor be adjusted without affecting the levels of the other floors?
Solution
You can adjust the height of a story in the Elevation or Section Drawings. To do this:
- Open an Elevation or Section Drawing. In the Elevation or Section Selection Settings, make sure that Story Levels are set to “Display”. Click OK.
- In the Elevation or Section Drawing, go to Design > Edit Story Levels.
- In the Story Editing Mode palette, select “Edit Only on the Chosen Level”. Click on the Second Story level and adjust. Click OK afterward.
TIP: This operation is undoable so if you are unsure please duplicate the file before you do this.
