Hello,

I have recently learned that you can use reference display to overlay a neighboring house next to your current project. This is so cool!! I would like to use this feature primarily to analyze terrain and plan ahead for drainage. The attached file shows the current project I'm working on on the left and the reference display of the neighboring house (also not built yet) on the right. I was able to locate the reference display correctly, but the elevations are different between the two foundations, and the terrain perimeter elevations are also different. When I move the terrain elevation reference point on the reference plan to match the current plan, it leaves the reference plan foundation lower than I want it. The right house foundation should be higher than the current house. Is there a way to set the different heights correctly? thank you!

I like to use Tools> Floor/Reference Display> Edit Reference Document to move the reference in the X and Y coordinates, but when you need to move it up and down in elevation I recommend going to Tools> Floor/Reference Display> Change Floor/Reference. Here you will be able to set a value for the Z axis.
