Hi everybody,
Is there a way to tell revit to lock walls, doors, windows and any other components that are labled as existing?

You could just define a view that only shows the existing construction, select it all and pin it into place (push the pin icon on the menu bar)
Or you could workset the project, place all the existing into one workset then simply choose to make this workset uneditable.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the reply. I've tried both of your suggestions and neither seemed to work with my problem.
I've taken a couple screen shots that I'll try to describe.
In the first shot called RevitCity-Before-092105 I'm showing the walls in their existing condition. I've selected everything and pinned them.
In the second shot called RevitCity-After-092105 I've added the new wall. Hopefully you can see what my problem is.

*Second to follow.

Looks to me like what you are showing are wall join issues. Lots of things that can be done. Try changing the wall join setting for each join using the wall join tool. Sometimes I split apart the walls, drag them away from each other, then align and lock them to the reference planes. Some joins may never get cleaned up 100% and then I will resort to using filled regions to graphically clean them up.

If you don't need to demolish or change the existing conditions any way then perhaps linking the existing into a new file maybe the best bet...
