When I put structural columns in, they come in at the level below. They didn't do that in previous versions of Revit (am on 6.1 now). This happens to all structural columns placed- whether existing in the template or loaded families. Does anyone know how to change the default placement setting?

I haven't had any problems with that myself in 6.1. Just check your active work plane is set to the floor your on. You may have accidently set it to another level...

No... that's not it. The active work plane is (for example) Level 2 and the column's coming up in Level 1 still. Everyone at work has this same problem.

perhaps you have something wrong with your structural families?

"...When I put structural columns in, they come in at the level below. They didn't do that in previous versions of Revit..."
This behavior is new, you're not imagining things. It is that way to be consistent with how many structural engineers prefer to work...that is to see the structure below rather than our convention to show structure above us (this is the explanation from the "factory" Draft your structure from the level above and use an underlay to align your work.
Also if you duplicate your floor plan to create structural framing plans, you can overlay them on the sheet over the floor plans to create a composite floor plan and framing plan. (common in residential drafting anyway) I posted an example of this at the AUGI site... here's the url (you need to join AUGI, it's free if you aren't a member already)

OK... so it's just something I have to get my head around.
Thanks!
