Levels Elevation Change
In the Modify Level dialog box if I change the 3 level's elevations so that the basement is 0' elevation and adjusted the other 2 levels relative to that, do each item's elevations within each level adjust accordingly so everything looks the same as before? I want to raise the entire house so I can make the proper landscape outside that slopes away from the house, because ground level is several feet below the main level elevation.

Re: Levels Elevation Change
If you just want to raise the whole design, you should add the same value to the elevation of each level.

Re: Levels Elevation Change
For example then I should just add 7’9 7/8” to each level.

Re: Levels Elevation Change
Yes, just add 7’9 7/8” in your case.
Anyway, keep in mind that Sweet Home 3D proposes 2 guardrails when you make an error: undo and reloading the current home without saving it wink

Re: Levels Elevation Change
Yes the undo feature is quite generous.
