Stepped (sub) level - accurate reporting on schedule?

[kingjosiah]

There is a small portion of one of our main floors that steps/ramps down a few feet. Rather than chase down negative base offsets for all the walls and doors in the lowered section, I added another level.

The advantage is that we can accurately report the ceiling heights and more importantly maintain the flexibility of adjusting the location of that level simply as the design evolves. Unfortunately though, the doors, or any other element on the sublevel, will report that they are part of the sublevel -- as they should -- when they are more appropriately noted as being on the 'main' level.

The goal is to sort the door schedule by level, yet have the doors on the 'sublevel' appear as if they were on the 'main level'. Is this possible?

- Jon If the doors are still attached to the first floor, but with negative "sill heights", then yes. You actually have to either copy/cut and then paste the doors by level, or edit each one, changing the level it is attached to.
