CAD drafting Change Elevation 6 Command line: NG_MESH_VERTEX_MOVE_H

The command changes elevation (Z coordinate) of a node of an existing surface (Submesh or Polyface mesh) and rebuilds triangulation.

To change elevation:

     

1.    Run the command.

2.    In response to the prompt in the command line:

Select vertex to change elevation

select a vertex. When you hover the cursor over the mesh node, it is highlighted in red.

3.    After specifying the node, the prompt follows:

Elevation of this vertex is 200.36. Specify new elevation.

where 200.36 value is the node elevation. You need to enter a new elevation in the drawing units and press Enter.
