Changing level elevation

[bobEAD75]

I have established levels and views (lower, t/o foundation, main and upper) as well as others. Due to new site conditions i have to change elevation of lower and t/o foundation levels. When moving level i get errors saying views and misc objects associated with these levels will be deleted. How do I accomplish this?

Can you show a section and indicate how much you want to move those levels?

[bobEAD75]

I want to move lower level 3”. Issue is i have 5 views associated with this level

Sorry dont have access to revit file this evening. I can post section tomorrow

Change the elevation of one level a few inches shouldn't be deleting view and elements.

For clarification, you want a deeper foundation; right?  And you are doing this by going to an Elevation View and dragging the "lower" level down and away from "t/o foundation" level; right?  

...I'm not clear why you would need to change the "t/o foundation" level" - which I assume is top  of foundation.

Actually, I am lowering top of foundation wall 1’-0” (this doesn’t cause
and views to be deleted since there aren’t any views based on this level)
and raising lower level slab level 3” (this causes error messages for
multiple views to be deleted).

we are changing top of foundation level due to revised detail at exterior wall relative to grade

What sort of views are to be deleted?  I change levels elevations quite often during design stage and never have that issue.

my lower level floor slab level is setup to generate a presentation plan, electrical plan, architectural plan, ceiling plan and a coordination plan

Why don't you just lower the grade?  Serious question. I'm not being facetious.
