Elevation Level Coordination

I have a project where the original plan was set up with First Floor at 0'-0",  Second Floor at 11'-0" and Roof at 22'-9".  I need to change the elevation numbers to 100'-0", 111'-0" and 122'-9".   I can change the roof level but as soon as I change the second floor number it freezes up and I have to reboot.  The project is an addition and the original floor plan was imported from an AutoCAD file so I don't know if there is something hidden, but seems this should be an easy change.  I've tried half a dozen times and it's truly frustrating.

Move the Project Base Point (or Survey Point) down 100' and set the level type to use Project Base Point (or Survey Point) for elevation base.

I appreciate the note.  But I can't seem to find anywhere to change the Project Base Point.  Where is that setting?

Two options:

In an elevation view you can use Relocate Project (Manage ribbon > Project Location panel > Position) and click once start the move then move your cursor straight up and type in 100'. Then change the elevation type to assign the Elevation Base parameter to Survey Point instead of Project Base Point. It will display 100' instead of 0'.

 

Alternatively in the same elevation view, turn on the display of the Project Base Point (if it is not already visible) and move it down 100'. The level will display 100' instead of 0' when its Elevation Base parameter is assigned to Project Base Point.

 

Both options appear to move the model up to 100', but the model remains at zero feet. So the model does not change, just the information displayed in the elevation value for the levels. Also, the first option would permit you to export to DWG and have the model at 100' (exported using the shared coordinate system) while the second option will not result in a DWG at 100'.

FWIW: When you say  "original plan", are you referring to the Architectural plans/construction docs? If so, the original plan is correct.  Vertical construction originates from 0'-0'' -- the "First Floor" Level in your case. This is going to be the datum for the Architectural planning and construction of the addition as well. The as-built elevation of the first floor/addition in the real world has no impact on, or relevance to the vertical construction.  Vertical construction will always originate from zero.
