I am trying to move my entire project down to get the correct grade points for my main floors. This townhouse is the perfect mirror of another project on the same site, and i've already successfully use the "Mirror Project" to mirror the entire project. Now my issue is that I need the Main T.O. Subfloor (notice there are two different ones) to match what we have on our site plans.

Looking at the screenshot attached, the section on the right needs to move down to 1045.18 and the section on the left needs to move down to 1045.35. What is a way i can move both of these sections down to the correct elevation without too much damage to the model, and if possible, the annotations? I've tried locking the dimensions to the levels and changing the geodetic elevation of the level, but that just gave me errors and deleted a whole bunch of stuff. Any ideas?

In elevation

• add dimensions floor to floor and lock all except the floor to floor that has to change
• pin the level above the one that needs to move down
• move the level down.

Thanks for the reply, I'm just wondering what you mean by "pin" the level above the one that needs to move down?

When i move the level down, should i be grabbing (selecting) all of the walls, roofs, etc. before i move it down? 

Also, when moving the level down you mean using move command in elevation, and just type in the distance it needs to move right? Or do you mean typing in the geodetic that i need into the level head?

Pin is a fundametal tool in Revit: HELP

As I instructed "....In elevation....pin the level above the one that needs to move down <<meaning the level line....move the level down  << meaning the level below the pinned level...."   (You can have multiple levels below the pinned level.  Because levels are dimensionally locked together, the ones above the pin will stay in place and all others (including everyting associated with them) will move together.

If you have built your model correctly, most items will be associated with their own level so you don't need to pick anything else.  Moving the level will move everything.  Annotations are 2D - view only so no need to worry about those either.
