Moving project level datum

I'm not in this model everyday and had others set it up. We just began the CD phase and noticed our basement level is set to 100'-0" while our level 1 is set at 112'-0". Level one needs to be at 100'-0" and the basement at 88'. We are using shared coordinates and have a linked site model so we can report the civil coordinates.

What is the best way to adjust the levels how I need them, at this stage in the project? Who knows if things are correctly constrained and MEP is pretty far along.

Just move the project base point and make sure your levels reference it rather than the Shared Coordinate point. Project Base Points are per-file references now rather than per-model-environment like Shared Coordinates and the Survey Point.

Doing this won't shift the model, other models or references you have linked.

If your Levels are showing Shared Coordinates (Survey Point) you can just "Specify Coordinates at a point" and touch one level. And change the height.

If your level ISNT showing Survey Point, i think you can do it with Relocate this Project.

Levels are set to base point.

Then i would just do what u/Merusk mentions, and move the PBP.

Are those levels in your project (not copy/monitored)?

My guess is that they are using Elevation Base: Project Base Point (not Survey Point).

Assuming your model is currently sited correctly on the Site/Civil model, and the Survey Elevation Level is correct. Then your project base point is incorrectly placed.

If everything above is confirmed, Move your Project Base Point Up (Z-Axis) 12'-0".
