Locking to Levels

[jfjacques]

I've locked my floors and roofs(tops and bottoms) to levels. 

I've created dimensions between these and locked these dimensions. 

The expectation here, is that when I unlock, say, the dimension spanning the thickness of a floor, proceed to change the thickness of this floor, and then realign the levels  to this floors top and bottom, everything would move in unison. It would be expected that I could move two levels and everything else would stay locked in place. 

This is not happening, shifting levels is causing a mess. 

I've gone over it, everything seems to be locked in place. What could be the issue? Is this not how revit should work? 

The same issue happens if I try to change a levels height while keeping everything else locked.

Hi,

1. Why aren't you using Base and Top Constraint Property of wall?

2. Try Attaching the top of walls to Slabs/Roofs

hi

you are over locking everything and Revit doesn’t like it.

wall, windows, column, roofs are by default level based .. you don’t need to lock them.

test it 

keep a floor , level 1, offset zero.. 

moving level will move the floor too.

you can lock distance between levels..

test this as well.

two levels locked with a dimensions.

moving one level will move another locked level..

but if you are locking level to floor or floor to level then Revit cannot process two constraints.. am sure the pop up message will reveal the. Problem...

It's not an issue. This is how Revit works.  If you don't want a Work Plane associated Floor, then don't use the System Family. Model the Floor as an In-Place Component under the Floor Category and Dissociate Work Plane.  Then you can constrain it through locked dimensions like you are describing.

Just a quick question only to you...

do you know the difference between 

levels with

1. Black coloured level heads

2. Blue coloured leve heads
