Ok this may be the most simple, rediculous question, but i cant seem to get the height of a tree or light pole to change. If I select the "height gizmo" and drag up or down to change the height of a tree or pole, the height changes, but then it wont accept the change. It just defaults back to what it was. Is there a setting i need to change somewhere?? Help or direction to other posts would be greatly appreciated!

How about if you pick the height grip and then type the new value. Does that stick?
Could you provide some info about the source data of these objects (data source and how you imported it vs. are these drawn features)? Also, it would be nice to see a screenshot of the feature refusing to resize accompanied by the property inspector showing its properties.
they are just the default objects, furniture, from the out of the box infraworks. i just can seem to understand why the height is not at a normal height for the typical object. Does it have something to do with height-above sea level-based from my dem. it seems when i was watching a webinar when the teacher was editing the height of these furniture objects he was entering "real world" typical heights - as in 30' tree, instead of 196' tree. Whether i try to stretch or type in a "normal" height for these objects, it wont accept the "normal" height.
I have not been able to. Ive double checked my units, model settings and re-imported elevation models from different sources to see if that may have been it, but no.
Im beginning to think that it may be a bug with the first release of Infraworks. I know in a couple recent webinars, reference was made to them running R2(release 2) and it was working correct, so that may be it. Havent had a chance to get tech to download the most recent version yet, so I cant confirm it.
Are you able to create proposals or do Undo/Redo for changes? If not, your model might have locked up.
For checking whether the model data is locked up against particular data changes one could have a look for index.lock files with the <MODEL_NAME>.files\.git folder and delete them.
If you did not create any proposals yet or can live with losing all of them the .git folder could also be deleted (you should switch to the master/proposal you want to preserve from within InfraWorks before deleting the .git folder then). Deleting the .git folders has the bad side effect of deleting all but the currently open proposal/master; and losing any ability to sync to InfraWorks 360 model that it was originally connected to.
The only "advantage" it can provide is that it can bring some corrupted models back on track (if the reason for the corruption is related to some hickup in the data versioning).

Thats odd. I wonder why that would be? That was the first thing I did, set up the model in maine state plane. I havent had a chance to re-do my model in the default LL84, but ill be sure to let you know if mine fixes itself. That really just doesnt make sense to me why it would work that way...come to think of it the webinar i was watching (where it worked fine) was done in LL84 as well...hmmm, odd.
