View Full Version : 2014 Moving Levels without elements

I have a project which was originally a 14 story building. I copied the elements from each individual level and created a new project for each level. The problem I am having is that on several of the levels, the elements are offset too far from the level that hosts them.

For instance, my Level 2 walls are offset 25' from level 2 instead of zero feet from level 2. This may be because level 2 is 25 feet above level one. I think the error occurred when i originally copied and pasted the elements from each level, but I have since done so much editing to each level that going back to the original project is not really an option.

Does anyone know how to move all of the elements in my model (walls, ceilings, windows, lights) so that they are AT level 2 and not 25 feet above level 2? I have tried copying and pasting in different ways, making the elements a group and ungrouping them, linking into a new project, etc., and not of them seem to work. My elements are always at a 25' offset from the level that hosts them.

Thanks

Figured it out. Had to copy everything to clipboard, and then paste aligned to level one in a new, blank project. Elements appeared offset by 25 again from level 1. At that point, I copied everything from the new drawing to the clipboard, and then did a regular paste from clipboard. Pasted at 25 feet below the first set of elements. The new pasted set were referencing level 1 at a 0' 0" offset. I then deleted the original elements, and created a new level 2, 25' above the base level one. I then copied the elements to the clipboard, and pasted aligned to selected level (the new level 2), and now I have all of my elements on level 2, at 25 feet elevation, without being offset.
