    Default Modifying Floor Line

    Okay, I have a wall with some components. Block base, rowlock, brick, accent stripe. I'm designing a car wash, and at the entrance, the tunnel is about 11" BFF (below finished floor). When I modified my floor line to show this for the rear wall, it offset everything 11". The base, rowlock, brick, and accent stripe are all 11" too low. Is there a way to modify the floor line, but have ACA just "add" to the base material and not adjust it throughout the whole wall?

    Define the vertical starting points of your components that are above the baseline from the baseline, not the wall bottom. Define the block base as starting at the wall bottom and ending at some position relative to the baseline. Then only the bottom of the block base component will vary with the location of the wall bottom, and all others will remain fixed relative to the wall baseline.

    Ah, okay. Now that you mention it, it makes perfect sense! I'll try it at work Monday. Thanks "D"!!!

    Okay, so it took a few weeks, but I tried it and it worked like a charm!

    Thanks!
