Change Toposurface elevation

Cheerz,

 

Probably easy one, but yet can't find correct way to do it, beside dragging it with click or arrows...

What is correct way to change elevation for topo surface?

As I understand it's set by default to elevation - 0

Just move it down.  That's the correct way to do it.

Well, that works, yet kind odd that there are no simple elevation assignment option for plane toposurface...

Thanks

Sites in general are based on survey points relative to a coordinate system rather than Level Datum...

 

A toposurface in Revit is a surface generated either from a coordinates file (a csv or a dwg) or from points placed in Revit. The Elevation(s) of the latter is absolute ie: relative to the Internal Origin (Additional points may be placed relative to another toposurface)

 

In either cases, the Level datum are irrelevant  (especially when that site is not a flat plane.
