Question:
I need to do the modeling in very high elevation. When I try to set the grid Z coordinates to +1200000, I receive a message about having +/-1000000 as the maximum level. Why is there such a limitation and is there a way to remove it?
Answer:
The limit is there because you should not do your modeling too far from the origin - as the model accuracy starts to decrease at very long distances.
We recommend you do the modeling near the origin, also in the z-direction, having the 0-level for example on the ground level. In the drawings you can then have the elevation marks etc. in world coordinates by modifying the datum level either in the drawing level or in the view level properties.
