There are often times when an item needs to be placed at a different 'Z' height. For example, if you want to stack two overhead cabinets, place one at the default height, then place the second overhead and use change 3D height to move it up above the first.
Other ways you could use this command would be to put work surfaces or connectors at a special height.
To place an overhead cabinet above another:
-
Put two overhead cabinets on the drawing so they overlap.
-
Convert from plan to 3D.
The plan is converted to 3D, top view. -
From the AutoCAD View menu select 3D Views, SW Isometric.
-
Click
on the Cap Edit toolbar.
-
Select one of the overhead cabinets then press Enter to confirm your selection.
-
In the Edit Default Height dialog, enter the new default height in inches.
-
Click OK.
The overhead cabinet you selected is now placed at the height you specified:
