I am working on a family for multiple upper casework cabinets, but started it as a floor based family. My problem is that I can no longer see it when I switch to the Ref. Level plan view. Is there a way to change the view range in a family? Alternately, is there a way to switch a floor base family to a wall based one?

There is no one click or one check box to switch it... Not sure about wall/face conversion to floor but I know there is a workaround to change a wall based into a face one but but the same methode should apply as floor are kind of a face....Nonetheless, I would really avoid it when possible cuz it is really tedious (SEE HERE) ...
If I'm creating a casework system...First (if its not free standing) I would keep it split 1 floor and 1 face (not wall)...then if I would need an assembly from both I bing both into a third family of type that best suits the purpose of how I want it to behave in the model. Face/wall/floor or just a generic one)
But if it comes to preference I would keep face based casework separate from floor based...fits better the WBS

In the project browser, single click on the view you want to change the view range in. Then those options will appear in the properties palette.
As mentioned by others, probably your furniture is above your view range. What sometimes helps is a trick. Add a (hidden) model line to your cabinet family. When this line is long enough it will go through the cut view of your view range in the project making the cupboard visible

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
Thank you all for your responses. All I needed was the one little thing I was overlooking on changing the view range and the answer from MT1083 was the one I was lookiing for to solve my immediate problem. Now I'll start working on the floor vs. face based family issue. Thanks again!.
creating the body parts by parts...
not a very efficient method to model..
