Is there an easy way to do this without getting into a major undertaking?

Assuming you are not talking about a model linked into a seperate site project, then go to elevation view or any view you can see all the levels, dimension the levels and lock the dimensions, change level 0'-0" to 100'-0" and everything should move up.

It is even easier than that. The help menu is wrong. It leads you to the wrong place. If you set your level properties to Shared, then go to the Tools menu, there is a flyout from Project Position/ Orientation. Click on Relocate project.
The Command works just like move, but everything in your project moves to the new position. You can move everything at once to anywhere.
Thanks

How does this work with huge Revit files that have tons of linework, notation, all the CD sheets setup, etc? Is there any danger that some stuff will not move?

Use the relocate project tool should be fine.
There is no chance of it effecting any of your views. All its doing is relocating the co-ordinate system rather than moving the building...

I need to do the same thing (switch levels from 0-0 to 100-0) but I want to keep it so spot elevations on my topo read as their true elevation. Is this possible? When I relocate, the topo elevations get 100 added as well. My levels are set as project levels.

Yes this is possible. You can have levels set as shared or project (located in their properties). This enables you to have you levels report starting at RL 0 for instance whilst your topo contours still report the appropriate real world elevation.

Yah, I know about shared vs. project levels, but how do I get Level 1 to read as 100 instead of 0? Relocating the project alters the shared coordinate system, leaving my Level 1 as 0-0 and adding 100 to my spot elevations. This is the opposite of what I want to do. Is there a way to shift the project coordinate system? I've tried locking the levels together and then typing in 100 for level 1 but this floats the building 100 ft in the air.

In your spot elevations and you levels there are settings to change whether its uses the shared elevation or the project elevations.
Switch them around as required.
Spot Elevation-->Properties-->Elevation Origin...
Level-->Properties-->Elevation Base...

Thanks for the help. I think I'm not being clear. My spot elevations are shared elevations, and my levels are project elevations. The spots are working correctly right now and Level 1 reads 0-0. Our firm standard, however is for level 1 to read as 100-0. Is there a simple way to change the default value for level 1?

Can't you just create a new level type for level 1 only that uses the shared levels instead of the project level...

That changes the level to read the elevation of the toposurface which in my case is 5410'-0". and I want it to read 100'-0". Am I misunderstanding what you're saying?
