Is there anyway to add a view to the Upper ref Level, similar to the Lower Ref. Level ?

My understanding of this was the Ceiling Plan is looking at the upper Ref Level

in this test you can see I have created an extrusion using the Ceiling Plan Ref level, you can see where it is in the left view. @ the Upper Ref Level

Why don't you Duplicate View and change the View Range Cut Plane of that Duplicate View to whatever you want?  As for hosting elements to that Upper Workplane,  you can use Set Workplane for that.

Yes of-course i can do this but i was wondering if i can add an associated view to the upper level, it would have been logic since there are 2 levels in the family, but it seems that there is no way to do that, right ?

No, you can't add Floor Plans in Families like you can in a Project.

Change the view range.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.
