i realize this is probably one of the most asked questions but can't find an answer thread: my project has an existing floor (6th fl exist) and a new floor built 8" above over most of the existing (6th fl). I have tried to manipulate the view range and underlay options for both 6th fl exist and 6th fl but my plan still looks like the attached. In general, i can't yet understand views.

Do you really want an underlay on? If your view is set to your new floor level, you can increase the view depth to the old floor level to show that. You may also want to experiment with plan regions. Look in your HELP to understand those.

I can't understand why the floor continues to show through walls, fixtures, everything. I have turned off underlays for these two levels and set the bottom and depth of view range to 0". Nothing I do seems to affect the view. Perhaps it's a Vista thing, but my help crashes every other time I use it. Is there a reason why the floor would show through the walls built on it?

If the walls on the lower floor are set to goto the level above, then they will show up because you set them up that way! They either have to goto the bottom of the floor by using an offset or edit the floor - changing it slightly then when you finish editing, let REVIT cut out the portions of the walls that the floor intersects.

That makes sense, but all the interior partitions in the 6th flr plan screen shot i posted are walls built on the new 6th floor. I created one large floor. All interior partitions are built on that floor. There are no interior partitions built from the existing 6th floor beneath the new 6th floor. I'm still searching the help with little success. Thanks for your help.

So now i have redrawn the floor in sketch to trace along the face of walls and I have deleted the exist floor and created floors only where it is visible from the new floor plan. This is retarded but i can't get any information on floor regions because my help crashes, thanks to VISTA. The sections are now ruined but, hey, fight your battles as they come. ;^) Can anyone give me a clue?
