Negative Elevation for Furniture
I have searched around and this has been requested a few times. Alex Heneveld HERE and HERE appears to have altered the source code to make it possible. Unfortunately I don't know how to do this myself. Is anyone able to advise me how to do it?

Or alternatively, a better solution, such as a plugin, etc?

I have tried the "copyasnewfurniture" method and it isn't suitable for what I need to accomplish. I am actually quite surprised that something a commonplace as a 150mm verandah slab with a 100mm step up into the house is so difficult to achieve in sh3d. I managed to get it to show up in the 3d model with a different level and a 24m x 48m x .15m wall but that is no good as it doesn't show up on my ground floor plan with measurements (and it has to).

A simple box with -150mm elevation and 150mm height (24m x 48m) would work perfectly, but alas, not without a code change or something else.

Also, just to head off any replies suggesting to use boxes for floor heights, etc, I cannot as the rooms are not rectangular. Not to mention that it would be extremely time consuming to have to modify everything else to a new elevation (there are hundreds of items).
