font-family:Arial'>I'm modeling a two-story building with basement and
penthouse and am having a slight problem (maybe??). First I modeled the
shells (one per floor) and checked "immediately above" each other
without specifying coordinates. The floor alignment was not correct (all
floors were centered with respect to each other) even though I used the
background of the floor below as a reference. To try to fix this I left
the basement as it was without specific coordinates and plugged in
coordinates for the 1st Fl, 2nd Fl, and penthouse. Now the 1st Fl, 2nd
Fl, and penthouse are aligned correctly with respect to each other, but the
basement is not aligned in the 3d view (see below). The basement appears
to be aligned with the 1st floor in the custom building footprint (see below),
so there seems to be a conflict. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
