The only way to change the elevator is to modify it's animation in Renx. This will require you having the gmax file in order to do this and changing the current preset or creating a new preset for the elevator in Commando/LevelEdit. The preset "zones" will need to be changes for the new height of the elevator.

err -- elevators are just animations -
you add the "lift" via a mesh that is marked as "push" in the building physics type.
the "lift" just goes up and down when you trigger it with a zone.
i made a couple of them -- with working doors and lights (just like the westwood ones - (lights are achieved by making meshes come on and off as the lift goes up and down.)
make the complete cycle of the animation - down - up - down.
you also need to set the zones --
you have to play with it - as it's a bit complicated to go in detail here - one of these days i will need to make screen shots -- ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
basically - you have an overhead view and a front view - you move the little block in front or behind the lift mesh (some systems show it - some don't - limitation of the vidcard i think)
the commands for moving it are on that screen when you go into it.
sorry can't be much help.
(btw - you can look at an animation of an elevator in viewer to see what i mean about the meshes turning on and off)
