enter a new value, and select from where the distance is to be
measured: Wall Top, Base Height, Baseline, or Wall Bottom.
NOTE Do not define wall components with elevation offsets that are
above Wall Top or below Wall Bottom. Walls that have components
that are defined this way do not clean up correctly and may not be
displayed correctly if you edit their roof line or floor line. To avoid
cleanup and display problems, you can define wall components with
elevation offsets that are above Base Height or below Baseline.
