Can a floor plan become a level?

[david.kingham]

A coworker started this project when I was out of town and now it's a bit jacked up. My first floor and second floor plans seem to be setup as just floor plans, not levels. Problem is all the walls are constrained to the first floor plan but I have no First Floor level in my elevations/sections. Is there anyway to get levels in or do I have create new levels and reconstrain everything?

Thanks

if walls are 'constrained by a "first floor level" then there is a first floor level. Create a new section or evelations and you should see it. If the project is in worksets he might have the level on a invisiable workset so turn on all owrksets in your new view. Unless he created the plans as horizontal section-detail views, in which case yes you will need to copy paste all your drafting elements into new plan views. so if you go "view-new-floor plan" the 'first floor' does not show up as an option? is that correct?

It does appear if i go to view>new floor plan so something is funky, maybe the levels are way off in the middle of nowhere hmm

I also had a co-worker who got themselves into this same situation.

I have been using Revit for two years now and I was unable to find any levels in the project, yet the walls were constrained to them.

As far as I can figure, she deleted all the elevations and somehow levels got deleted as well. No scope boxes or worksets were present in the project, so I finally gave up trying to figure it out.

We are seeing more of this kind of stuff happen in our office as the second and third wave Revit users get into projects and find all sorts of ways to mess things.

you sure it wasn't just renamed without updating the view names? (see below)

Nope, I have no level at 100' or 113'-4" I tried deleting the floor plans and create a new level but it says the name entered is allready in use...i think I'll go cry now lol

in one ofyour elevations turn off your crop region, then zoom all then select everything on the screen, filter for levels only, then you can see where the heck your floor 1 is.

Or make a new elevation with no crop region - it has to show up then.

Thank you guys that did it, very odd though, i was moving the crop region 1000's of feet and they never showed up, turn it off and they were only about 100' away from the building :shrug: who knows
