I think I might have messed up and would like someone to help me out of this mess.

I have a sloping roof with a high bmd el and a low bmd el. I drew such on the elevation, they are 5' apart. Anyway, when I did this it created two plans. Well being new to Revit I drew joists and beams on both plans - the high beams on the high plan and the low ones on the low plan, and the joists that are sloping from low to high I put on the low plan. Anyway now looking at it I would like all the joists and beams to be on one plan, so I only have one roof framing plan not two. How can I get these to combine, I tried the view range thing and it will show the low plan joists and beams on the high plan but it will not show the sizes. Other than starting over with the framing I don't know what to do.
(As you can see - I am new to revit!)

It defiantely sounds like your view range is out of whack

Try this:
Go to a 3D view and right click cube > Orient to View > Floor plans > (select floor plan you want to put on a sheet)
The Section Box will show what your view ranges are displaying
If half of the lower roof/upper roof is cut then you have to adjust the view range

You can do this simply by going into a section, turning on levels and dimensions roughly where you want your cut plans to sit
For more info, google "revit view range" or have a look at this website if you dont understand how they work

beam tags (sizes) are by view,
when you place a member in one view,
you have to add the tag to the other views.

Why don't you do a plan region around the low beams/joists?
that way you don't have to cahnge your view range on the plan just on the plan region and avoid that chance that something that is at a lower elevation that is not supposed to show will show.
hope that helps!!!
