The elevation uses the units of measurement specified in your model, so if you are using meters to report elevation, then your changes to viewport elevation will adjust in meters as well:</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>1) Copy and paste this code into a code editor application such as Notepad++, and save this to extensible markup language&nbsp;as "movetoelevation.ui" within the&nbsp;C:\Program Files\Autodesk\InfraWorks 360 folder.
