How to increase the floor height changing the the height of the elements automatically?

After the geometry of my model was completed, the architect requested me to increase the height of the floors 3 through 7 from 10ft to 11ft. I tried changing the height of the stories through the object inspector. I can see that the floor axis changed, but the slabs are no longer at the same height of the floors, and the columns do not change in height. So when I switch from the View to the Plan, the floors are no longer there. 

 

The file is too large to update, let me know how I can upload it.

hi @Anonymous 

Save file as RTD without results than zip it.

Then it should be small enough to attach it to forum post.

Best regards

Hello, Thank you for the responses!

 

I tried the macro, but unfortunately I got a runtime error.  

I attached the robot file for your review. Also, I attached a snip of the floor heights I need.

 

When I select a floor on the object inspector, the floor height is correct. But when I click on a element from that floor, like a column, the height of the object is less than the height of the floor. Actually the height of the columns are not known to me - I never set any elements with that height.
