I want to redefine where the datum is within a roof face, but I want the roof face to remain exactly where it is.
So, previously the datum was on the bottom surface of the ceiling, but I want it to be in between two internal layers.
The dialogue above initially looks a bit like the one you get when you replace or edit a wall style, which gives you a lot of options of what component to align in the old wall, with what component in the new wall. But actually it doesn't give you any of those options. When I click OK, the red line will stay in the same place in the model, and then the roof face will shift relative to it. So my ceiling will drop.
Am I right to think, there's not a way to do what I want? I want to redefine the red datum line from where it is in the left hand diagram, to where it is in the right hand one. But I want my ceiling to stay exactly where it is.
