How to add a lower level to existing two-level design
After creating two levels, how can a lower level be added and essentially move everything already done up one level?
I wanted to add the foundation and concrete slab as a level, to show the foundation above base height. Did not think of this until after making the first and second floors. Since I only know how to add a level on top, that would mean moving all the elements of level 0 to level 1 and all the elements of level 1 to level 2. The elements (walls, windows, doors, furniture etc...) do not have a level assignment in their menu data.

- Add a Level - Double-click level tab - Change Elevation to negative value - The tab will move to the left - You created a level lower than the "ground" floor

When the new level (defaults to level 2) is set to negative height and its tab moves to the left it shows a level 2, 0, 1 sequence. The tabs can be renamed to 2 > 0, 0 > 1 and 1 > 2, to have tabs 0, 1, 2.
I did something stupid I guess, because several of the walls from level 2 became lost in the map view. They show up in the 3D aerial view somewhat lower than before. under the level 2 tab walls from level 1 show up instead.

In the same dialog box that allows you to change the elevation of a level, you can also change the name of a level.
