Floating building in design option

I have setup a design option in a model but for some reason the building is floating above the ground level ( see below) the main option is fine..

-Are the ground level and the topo surface level have the same value as height?

-Do you have a base offset value in your wall type

Does your model have the same floating issue in all the views (3D model, section, an other view) or is it always the same view?

its in all views of that design option ie elevations,3d views etc when i turn the datum's back on the base of the building is still referencing the ground level. Its that the gradient background isn't referencing the ground level in this design option. Where does the background in graphic display options get its horizon from? that seems to be the problem...

from the visual style icon on the left bottom corner of the screen. Chec your graphic display options-background settings, see if the settings are different for design options.
