Adjust Drainage Elevation
💡 Move pipes and drain boxes to a new elevation with the slope recalculated automatically.
What it does
Adjust Drainage ▸ Adjust Drainage Elevation moves the pipework and the floor drain boxes to a new elevation relative to the active level, recalculating the network slopes and extending the vertical pipes as needed — without breaking connections.
When to use it
When the drainage outlet elevation changes — for example, the ground level or the collection box was altered — and the whole network has to be repositioned while keeping the correct slope.
Prerequisites
- Drainage network already modeled and connected.
- Knowing the new target elevation relative to the active level.
- Being in a plan or 3D view where the network is visible.

Common errors
| Symptom | Likely cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| The network does not move entirely | Some run is disconnected from the main network | Confirm connectivity before running the command |
| The slope is wrong after the move | The elevation entered is incompatible with the rest of the network | Run the command again reviewing the elevation entered, or use Adjust Slope + Elevation to fix both at once |
