Helloo all! i have a dilema. im working on a multi story residential project with revit. we decided to to the furniture families in 2d since we shall only see them in plan view. some thing wird happens when i try to modify some of the families: certain families, if i place them in a block, fall down from the upper floors. so they all gather on the first floor and i have blocks that have furniture families on the first floor and the respective floor that they are on. so a block on the second floor will have a sink secind floor and a bathtub on the ground while an identical block on the 5th floor will have a sink on the 5th floor and a bathtub on the ground floor. working with block has not been a good experience but at the same time i dont see a managable way of working on multiple levels at the same time. i didnt create the furniture families but they were created in out office.

You are having some terminology problems. We don't really have blocks in Revit so I don't know what you mean. Are these 2D families you created floor hosted families? How did you place these families in your model? Families do not "fall down" in a model. They are placed in a model and do not move unless you move them or move what they are hosted on.

yes quite right. by block i actually mean groups. as far as i can tell they are not floor or wall hosted families. and i usually copy them from one floor group and paste it into another floor group. it does seem like the families stick to the level that am working on regardles of the level of the host group.

Good, you are working at this and learning. - You can copy floor hosted or level hosted family from one level to another so keep working at that. Look at copy to clipboard and thn paste to do this.
- Groups take awhile to understand but basically will work the same as individual families. Once items are grouped together, they too can be copied to clipboard and pasted to a new level(s).
Revit items don't "...acts normaly for a while. The Revit items behave correctly 99.999% of the time so when you have a problem, you need to look at your process, not blame it on the program. BTW - Read as much as you can in your HELP ... You will discover and learn more there than in here.

still cant copy and paste this family from one floor to the other. tried copying it to the clip board, paste to selected level, making a group then copy paste... a workaround is to place a new version of the family from the browser but its only a matter of time before it gets messed up again. it is some thing to do with the fact that i am working with groups on different levels and some sort of a constraint kicks in.
