Z-Axis for Origin Point

[Oliver Hauser]

Hi Guys,

 

This could be a silly question but does anyone know how to change the Z-axis(height) of the origin point?

This can be achieved by setting a temporary working plane. 
 

Select one of the 3D axis lines in a 3D view and and a centre marker will appear at the origin (along with a widget that will set the roll and tilt of the plane). Select it and drag to a new position on the Z-axis. 
 

There is a menu command that will select this widget but I’m not in front of my computer right now.

 

if this is a regular requirement, then you should probably save the working plane you just created.

Or set the layer elevation to the desired Z height?

Thanks so much Guys.
