0 hollister design Studio Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 @bozho Stange thing just happened... I've been working on a file today and the Z values were working as they were supposed to (plants in planter boxes with a Z value of 24" where 24" above the site model and showing well in the planter box). And then I accidentally moved my Plant layer elevation up from 0" to 24" and all the custom Z values stopped working. When I returned the Plant layer to 0" the z values did not restart. No matter what I do now (even ctrl-Z back the before the change) I can't get back to Z value working. Just thought you might pass that on if it could help find the fix! Quote Link to comment
0 Thom Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Any idea when we will see SP3 release. I am having to drop back to 2021 to keep working. 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Lisar Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Also frustrated by this issue in version 2022. I was only able to get the plants to set on the surface after moving them to my model layer even though I have a plants layer (and other layers) set to effect the site model. HOWEVER, I still cannot adjust there z value to move them to a specific height. As was noted above, changing the z value does nothing. Selecting the plant in section or 3-d view and trying to adjust the height also doesn't work. Also tried to put a plant into a symbol to try to be able to adjust the height. Didn't work. Hoping a fix for this issue comes out ASAP. 1 Quote Link to comment
0 hollister design Studio Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 Bump. I just checked to see if the fix was 'accidentally' included in SP2.1... No such luck. Hopefully SP3.0 will release fairly quickly! 1 Quote Link to comment

Also 2:
Other objects seem to keep relative z value after they have been sent to surface.
For example -a test object at 0 is sent to surface. Now it's Z value is 2'3.74"
If I adjust the z back to 0 it goes to zero.
If i send it back to surface it goes back to 2'3.74"
