What's going on?

My elevation shows a different height than the actual 3D view???

Looks like the 2d Elevation Component of the Symbol might be registered incorrectly

In the elevation you are looking at the 2D component of the symbol so check that this is at the right height relative to the 3D component...

Thanks, I was setting the elevation height in the 3D view, but its not the same as setting it in elevation? I'm confused. Seems VWs was giving me wrong info. I did a restart and now it's consistent.

The 2D + 3D components of a symbol are completely independent of each other so you have to manually check they are aligned. If you select '3D' in 'Show Other' in the Component Edit palette you can check the 2D is aligned with the 3D. It is easy to create a 2D component then move the 3D component + forget to go back + move the 2D component as well.

Not at all. See https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2023/eng/VW2023_Guide/Symbols/Creating_2D_components_for_symbol definitions_and_plug-in.htm
