Changing the displayed floor

Question

Hello All!

I have been modeling out our campus and was wondering if you are able to change which floor is displayed by default. For example, generally floor 1 is displayed or selected to be displayed upon importing a floorplan from REVIT or CAD. However, some of the buildings that are on our campus have their main entrance on another level and I was wondering if there was a way to change that without removing the model and importing it again.

I'll attach some photos to accompany this!

Thank you!

In the Levels feature class, set the Vertical Order to 0 for the floor that you want to be the default floor. The vertical order for the other floors is then relative to that. So if you set floor 2 as vertical order 0, floor 1 would have vertical order of -1, a basement level would be -2, and floor 3 would be vertical order 1 in that building.
