We are starting CDs for a multi-fam project. Currently, our floor assemblies have not included the floor finishes (everthing above the sub-floor) which adds up to about 2". It hasn't been a problem thus far but now we need to create sections between interior/exterior @ the doors.

 What would be the recommended remedy for this problem? I could just add the finish to the current floor assembly, but we want the grid levels to be dimensioned to the sub-floor. Also, this would mess up our wall sections. Another option that we thought of was to add a second floor (just finishes) on top of the current floor. Then we can create new grid levels for the doors to be placed, keep our current wall sections, and change the floor finish much more easily.

 What do you guys think? TIA

Ah.... the Revit Plan Ahead problem.

 

You know you can have more than one level.  We use both a finished level and in some cases a structural level and hide levels as appropriate.   All architectural items should have been placed to finish floor.  You could modify your floor and make it the finish floor and just add another level below what you have for the structural level.

Yuck. Well, at least we will know for next time. I think I will just leave everything the way it is, make new floors and grids, and then edit all of my arch. elements. Moving grid lines always seems to screw something up for us. Thanks

I don't understand what "grid levels" you mean.  Unless you have elevation problems with the site, just change your floor to include the finish and add you levels.  Level Dimensions are easy to change.

adding a finish floor atop a structural floor is the method i was taught.  it seems to work just fine in my experience.  it also has the benefit of allowing multiple finishes in a given unit.  i suppose it may impact scheduling, but i couldn't say as i only have experience with construction drawings and thus only the most minimum of scheduling.
