Multifamily Building - Unit as Group but with Different Floor to Floor Heights

As the question states, I'm modelling each unit as a group. My unit group does not include the floor (have tried this in the past and too many issues making sure the floor exactly matches the extent outside walls of the unit).

 

How can I have my unit group adjust its wall heights due to different floor to floor heights as I stack the units? Calculating a top of wall offset will not work.

you should be able to change the wall height in a Group without Editing the group. This will modify the wall without modifying all other groups. But chances are Revit will start nagging about changes made to Group instances, so I'm not sure this is the correct way to do it.

I don't see any editing options to set wall height when I select a group. Fundamentally wondering how people are modelling units in multifamily multi story buildings...

Edit the group instance per floor and align / lock the top of the walls to a reference plane that you draw horizontally in a section view. For some reason Revit allows you to do this per group instance without forcing you to ungroup the elements.

You are right this works and I don't get the dreaded Fix Group... error. The only issue is I have to do this for every instance of the group on every floor - and there are 300 units in 6 floors.

 

Anybody have link to a universal strategy for modelling units as groups that addresses this issue? I see some people not including exterior, party and corridor walls in the unit, some include or exclude the floor and every combination in between and it seems that whatever approach you take there are unintended consequences. I have old autocad threads from 20 years ago trying to deal with text handling in units a blocks or xrefs and to this day, it's still unresolved - people have just given up and mirror their units to all 4 quadrants and leave the mirrored text on the drawings (nightmare for the poor contractor). I find Revit quite a bit more powerful in this respect but now stuck with another set of limitations.
