Thanks the Move2elev plugin worked great

I'm working to edit a topo file imported from cad and some of the topo lines do not begin or end at the same z elevation, (these are not break lines).

Does any one know of a quick way or plug in that will adjust the elevation of all selected items to a given elevation

Thanks

Yes that would be the simple fix, however to do this with segments of a curved wall (many segments) would be time consuming. Does any one know of a script that would do this our a script for walls that sets the axis correctly the first time.

All,

I am working on modeling an industrial research facility to develop quantity take offs for estimating purposes firstly and then scheduling / sequencing of trades later.

When i draw a wall with either multi-layers wall or 1001bit wall tools and the walls are not parallel or perpendicular to the XY axis they come into a material list (such as BG Material list) as very big boxes rather than something X inches thick by Y feet long by Z feet tall.

When the wall is drawn with the tools above it is a group which then I convert to a component with the convert groups to components plugin. After which i rename the components with Renderiza Rename by Layer.

So any help in stream lining this process would be appreciated, along with a solution to get walls not aligned with the xy grid to list with correct thickness and length. (I could work a excel formula to sort out the diagonal length within the out put file from the material list, but this seems like a lot of work when it should be simple)

Again thanks for the suggestions.

Mark
