Level sostitution question

[marco.defina]

Hello,

i drawed my entire mechanical project on a Revit File of an architect.

I received a new version of the file and i decided to insert this model as xref...I have a problem, the first revit file had a different quote of the floor.

For Example in the image you see 2 level.

How i can move all the component and the duct on a different level? So let me cancel the first level?

And the most importat, i can move the plan on a different level? If I cancel the level i loose the entire Plan

Can you just window select everything in one selection then slowly filter items out or in to swap from one reference level to the next? This may cause unexpected model changes to MEP elements, so care should be taken.

Else you could tab select elements as systems and swap levels. Also noticing that your level head is black & one is blue..?

OK so as i thought....

Yes i noticed...the black is of the xref revit, the blue is in the project. I will selete the level in the rpoject and use the level of the building revit file

And the most importat, i can move the plan on a different level? If I cancel the level i loose the entire Plan

I wouldn't delete the level until you move all elements to the level you want. Moving elements to different level does not delete the elements from the project floor plan. You may need to create a new floor plan to see your elements on the new floor level.

Hello Marco,

I suggest the quick one first, try to change the elevation of the levels, but it may broke some systems.

There is an option, moving the Project Base Point, but I suggest you see the video in this page before trying it!
