In the Properties Editor, you can adjust the Dimension Line Offset to change vertical spacing for elevation dimensions. When you adjust the Dimension Line Offset, you only change vertical dimension spacing for selected elevations. The Initial elevation dimension offset in Current File Settings controls default spacing for all other vertical elevation dimensions in your ICE file.
