Re: Basement is not at set negative level
Yes, I created a new level called 'basement pit'

Then I created a room for the pit and made it 'display ceiling' so I can see it when working on the separate 'basement' level. Without choosing 'display ceiling' and adding a colour for the ceiling, it is invisible when I switch back to 'basement'.

'Basement' has an elevation of 0. That's the only way I can see what I'm doing and see if it's accurate.

I guess the separate level for 'basement pit', with a negative elevation, is acceptable, because it's a small area. But for the whole basement, I need to see what I'm doing and I wasn't able to do that when I had it at negative elevation.

See, the pit is in the front left corner in this image. It has negative elevation of -80. The depth/walls don't show up from the side. That's how the basement looked when I had it at -255. Totally flat. No 3D.
