2. Using SL's build tool click on the blue arrow (z axis) shift drag the elevator floor frame upward and allign it to the next floor, do this as many floors you want
3. Edit each floor's description field with the format of "Elevator_name,floornumber" without quotes. (Example: "Default,1" without quotes)
additional note: You can also add a floor name designation, right next to the floor number, (Example: "Default,1,B1" without quotes)
4. Place elevator shaft pieces between floors where needed, so there is a continous track, see 4a addendum in the Customizing segment.
5. Rez the elevator car, set it's description field to the Elevator_name you set on the floors
6. Click the Aluveaux Technologies logo inside the elevator car, on the display screen, the main menu appears, and select reset

!!IMPORTANT!! Floors must be perfectly above each other, moving them to a different X and Y location than the first floor may result in unexpected behavior!!
!!IMPORTANT!! If you have to move the floors and the elevator, Repeat step 6 on the setup process! (Resetting the elevator)
Additional note for step 5: After setting the description of the elevator, you can take it to your inventory, and re-rez it any time with that elevator id. The elevator does reset and setup everything on rez too

Customizing:

4a: When placing elevator shaft pieces, Notice that it has 3 seperate faces! A face for the main shaft, a face for bottom wall attachment, and top wall attachment.
It is possible to stretch these pieces on their Z axis! You can also increase, or decrease the texture repeats on the main shaft face (vertically) as needed to keep the texture continous, and hide the now stretched wall attach point faces!
You can also hide either bottom or top ones for more flexibility.
The double shaft also has a seperate face for the middle wall attachment points.
By managing which attachments are visible you can set up an equal distance between them, keeping it nice and realistic.

!!IMPORTANT!! The Elevator is NOT resize friendly! Resizing the elevator results in unexpected behavior!
