I am unable to change the invert elevation on any of the nodes I have placed. I am able to hard key in a value, but after I do so, it changes the invert elevation to exactly 7.25, it does this exact thing for every node. I tried to see if the 7.25 referenced somewhere else, but was unable to.
Andrew:
It seems to me that the definition for this node has a minimum value of 7.25. You could test this by changing the elevation of the node to a difference larger than 7.25; i.e., an invert of 0 and a top of 10. It should "expand" to this difference, but will be unable to "contract" to a difference less than 7.25.

It is able to be a value that is greater than a difference of 7.25. So, for one with a rim elevation of 421.60, I am able to make the invert elevation 0-414.35, but unable to make it any value between 414.35-421.60. I need the invert elevation to be 4.5 less than the rim elevation. Is there a setting to change this?
If the sum of the top 3D cell and bottom 3D cell equals 7.25, then you cannot decrease that total depth. You will need to create a different set of 3D cells that will allow a shallower structure.

Yeah, this is what I suspected and which Karl verified. I do wonder- however- about this set minimum value of 7.25'. Generally, all structures have some standard or "minimum" depth. For instance, our typical grate inlets have a minimum delta of 2'-8". We can employ a structure with anything greater or equal to that delta, but not less than it. 7.25' seems to be a rather intentional number, and such would actually make a bit of sense if it were a sanitary sewer manhole or something like that which would need to have a relatively high delta.
Is this node part of an Agency WorkSpace which may require 7.25' for this particular item, or do you feel like it is a mistake? Do you know who created these cells? Can you have a discussion with him or her about why the node has this depth delta?
I don't believe they are part of an Agency WorkSpace that would require a 7.25' difference. I looked at the Inlet Catalog to see if there was a setting that was causing it to be exactly that value. I created a new set of cells and that did not work. Would it be related to the feature definition of the inlets?
If the total depth of the top and bottom 3D cells add up to less than 7.25', then check the Properties for the Feature Definition and look for the value of Default Height. Perhaps that might be the issue if it's 7.25'. If that's not the problem, then I suggest submitting an SR to get your dataset looked at. Include your SUDA seed file DGN library and cell library.
