So I'm creating my very first floor finish plan in Revit. Before starting, I ready through some posts on here to see what people recommended on how to accomplish this task. After reading through a handful of posts, it seems that creating a 'thin floor' that rests just above the structural floor is the way to go, so this is the method I went with. This worked just fine for our first floor, which is slab on grade. I added a 1/2" finish floor on top of the slab and was able to use the split face command to seperate out different areas to receive different floor patterns. I then moved to the second floor and did the same exact thing, creating a finish floor above the structural floor. For some reason on the second floor, doing this covered up all of my room seperation lines, which I want to remain visable, but I had no problem with this on the first floor. The second floor is concrete on metal deck over W-flange, if this makes any difference. It is the only difference that I can find between the first and second floors that may be causing the problem. Any ideas? Also, on the first floor plan, when I zoom in, a grid appears showing my floor, which allows me to select it. This does not happen on the second floor for some reason, and I have 'Floors' checked in visability graphics. What's the deal there?

Our floors are typically the structural portion of the floor. The floor hosts most floor based objects. If we have tile areas, we add a thin floor in those areas. We started out splitting the face of the structural floor but found that cumbersome and not as controllable visibly. We typically don't do anything for carpet but we could do the same as we do for tile. We usually turn off room boundry lines on working drawing sheets. If we want to show a finish floor boundry, either we add a line in carpet to carpet areas or our thin floor will create the line.

Thanks for the response, but unfortunately it isn't helping in this situation. I am needing to create a thin floor throughout the plan because we have several different carpets delineating different departments in the open office spaces and we need to be show these carpet changes through different hatch patterns on the finish plan. Being that there are large expanses of open office space, we had to create the 'rooms' by drawing in room seperations. Mainly, we wanted to show where the main hallways would be among all the workstations. I need these room seperations to show up on the finish plan because we will turn the furniture off, and we need to delineate where the hallways live . I realize that I could redraw the lines depicting this, but I can't even trace over the room seperation lines because they are under the thin floor that I created. This didn't happen on the first floor, and I can't figure out why it is happening on the second.

Yes they are. Same exact settings for the second floor as the first floor, and there was no problem on the first. So confused.

If you are creating a thin floor above the structural, it will hide your room seperation lines because they are model lines and they will be at the floor level.

But it didn't hide them on the first floor, which is the part that is throwing me. Somehow it transferred the model lines up onto the new 'thin floor'.
