I'll do my best to explain my problem and give some background to my building. I'm having some trouble with the shaft openings that I have as part of a group. Basically I have a building that consists of stacked townhouse units--1st floor is the same as 3rd floor and 2nd floor is the same as 4th floor (4 floors total). I have a group created for the 1st floor of the townhouse unit and a group for the 2nd floor of the townhouse unit. These two groups are the only ones contained in this building and are therefore copied throughout the building and located appropriately. My problem is that I created a shaft opening (for the stair) as part of the 2nd floor group. At the second floor level of this building everything works correctly. If I go to any instance of a group at that level, I can edit the group, and have the option to change the shape of the sketch of the shaft opening. At the copied instances (4th floor in this case) everything shows up correctly as well. (The opening shows through) However, if I go to edit the group at the 4th level, I don't have the option to change the shape of the sketch. Why can I do this at all instances of the group at a certain level (2nd level), but not at another (4th level)? Shouldn't I have the option to change the shape of my sketch at any instance of that group? Any help/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated.....Thanks
