Jules2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hi guys I have had this problem for quite some time where i have had to import a 3d object such as a table, bench, etc from the resource browser but when the object is in there its at an z elevation of zero. I would typically have a few level changes in my designs so some of the objects end up being underground. Then if you try z value in the object info you find that there is no where to do this. To fix this i have been creating different design layers for each level then changing the z value to desired in the layer in edit design layers. Is there anyway to change the z value of an individual object if you cant in the object info panel? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Probably the easiest and most accurate way is to use Move 3D (By menu command Modify>Move>Move 3D or by keyboard Command+Option+m on a Mac). The dialog will allow you to enter a delta Z distance, either positive or negative. Alternately you could drag the object while in a front/back/side view. KM Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 you should be able to use the Object Info palette to change the Z height. otherwise use the Move 3D... command from the Modify menu Quote Link to comment
