We've got four levels on a single family home. Everything needs to shift up four inches, but the basement level needs to stay where it is. All the levels are locked to one another (not through dimensions strings) and we cannot seem to unlock them. Thoughts?

Thanks!

Sometimes, people add dimensions, lock and later delete them without unlocking. The constraints will still be there if the dimension was deleted (Revit will warning you at the time you delete, though). Anyways, try going to an elevation or section view, select all levels and click on "Activate Dimensions" under the options bar. Revit should show the locks if there's any constraint between them.

Constraints also show as small dashed green dimension lines. (Hard to see.) These can be selected and deleted to remove the constraints.
