can anyone recommend a "Tried and True" way to manage walls in a multi-story building with repetitive floor plans. We don't want to Adjust EAch wall on EVERY floor every time there is a change. One option is to make the walls continuous. The down side of that is that that's not actually how it's built and it will look wrong in the section. Should we try ro make independent walls and constrain them vertically in some way so when one moves they all move. thanks in advance for your input

GOTTA think REVIT. If you make your interior walls to a fixed height or to extend to the floor above (with or without an offset), you can just copy to clipboard all you walls and paste them aligned, select levels by name. You can do all the levels at the same time. Have fun.

along the gotta think revit theme.. Often what I do is continue the walls top to bottom and then join/cut the walls with th floors. it will look right in section. works great for shafts where half the wall is not stopped by the floor. the other thing you can do is group walls that will be similar and then do what wwhub said to copy it around.

wwhub: I got that but what is the method for making a change to that system. say i move the corridor wall 3". By your recommendation (if i understand correctly) i'd have to delete all the walls above and copy the corridor wall back into it's revised location. there must be a better way...

ejm.... Not sure what you are trying to do but it sound like you should look at goups. Grouping allows you to have same items in multiple places that are in the smae proximity to the groups insertion point. Similar to that alful word - blocks. Edit the group to move a wall and they all move in every instance of the group. BUT BE CAREFUL HERE! Groups can really bog you down.

If you cut a section through the wall then it's quite easy to move them all at the same time. If the wall is likely to you can constrain them to gridlines or reference planes and they will all move together.
