Free camera mode (tab) and basements
While you can use your q and e keys to rise up and down through all the floors in free camera mode (tab) it won't let you go below ground level to the basement, unless you have page-downed to actuall...

Ah, I see. The method I described wouldn't work for that. I wonder if you could use a camera set point though. Can't test it in game at the moment, but if you want to try it, go to the basement level, zoom into it and switch to TAB camera mode. Get your camera pointed up (even though it just shows the ceiling at the moment). Hit CTRL+5 (or any number between 5-9). Now TAB to get back into live mode and bump up your levels. TAB again and press 5 (or the number you chose). If it works like I think it *might*, it will pop you down into the basement with all levels still up and the ability to take the shot you want. I'll cross my fingers that it works for you!
Edit: unfortunately, it won't work. While the camera swoops down toward the basement, it won't cross the ground level line while in TAB mode. Sorry! I will be adding this request to our Build Mode Feedback thread also.
Yes I think it's a kind of bug, inasmuch as I doubt the developers intended for us to be prevented from doing this, so it's worth reporting to them in case they can fix it.
