how to raise rollingstock

I have a few carriages where the bogie flanges are sitting on the sleepers and thus the wheels have sunk into the rails.
What determines the placement of bogies on rails and how can I raise the whole unit (bogie and bodywork) to sit on top of the rails?
One example is kuid2:64577:10085:1
I have tried replacing the bogies kuid several times but they always end up floating half way up the carriage.
Thanks
Stuart.

It is by genesteal so I guess it from Le Trainz. car WPC fleche d'Or 1932
There was no reply to email so I thought I would try the Forum.
I would like to know how to do it.
If there is a standard way of setting the height then I can play with it.
 
add this line to the config below the mesh table for both the bogies and the carbody

position 0,0,0 adjusting the last number until it is at the correct height in small increments, like position 0,0,1.
 
I found by placing it just after the mesh for the car body, it raised both car body and bogies in one go.
Turned out to be 0,0,0.2
Thanks for the help.

@jadebullet, I am trying this on <kuid2:962013:100126:2> KCS GP30, which is missing the bogies. Every substitute I try causes the body to float way above the bogies. I am trying this:
bogeys
{
0
{
bogey <kuid2:37581:20000:3>
reversed 0
position 0,0,1
}
}
But I get this error:
- <kuid2:962013:100126:2> : VE45: The tag 'position' is not permitted within a container of type '0'.
Is there some other way to put it in for the bogies?

That option appears to be deprecated and removed. I couldn't find that at all on the Wiki. I remember using the position tag once when I changed out some 42-inch bogeys for standard gauge ones on some Japanese passenger rolling stock back in TRS2006 or TRS2009. It worked okay but the actual bogey looked dorky and didn't fit right underneath.
 
It also looks like it has to be with the mesh, so I probably would have to clone a substitute bogey and then put it in the mesh for that instead of in the config for the locomotive. I may try that.
