    Negative floor level in relation to the grade. If you set the 1st floor default at -8'-0", then that is where the first floor will be in relation to the existing grade.

    Poelcat:

    no negative floor #'s allowed

    as stated before all 30 floors can be below grade

    the lowest floor # is always 0 ranging up to floor 30 and then floor A

    not sure if floor A can be below grade ???


    floor #'s have nothing to do with grade level

    Negative floor numbers may not be allowed Lew, but we are talking about negative floor HEIGHTS which are very much allowed.

    Polecat,
    I don't understand why you cant enter a negative floor height.
    Can you post or email the plan and I will have a look.
    Are you sure you have Default unchecked next to the Floor Height box?

    I don't think that is correct.
    Your floor levels are relative to Chiefs zero floor level NOT grade.
