I made an arena that has offset floors for different seating levels and base offset walls connecting between each of the floors.  I now have created a custom wall-hosted seat.  After loading it into the project I can place it on walls that extend to the base of the view I'm working in, but not the walls where the base is offset.  Is there a way to work around this?  Thanks.

Not sure why you would create a wall hosted family for this.... seems there are better options.

We would probably have to see the family to give you an answeer but I suspect your family's location is still dependent on the floor level. Is there an offset dimension in the family?

They are wall hosted because the tiers of seating are on a slight arc (easier to position than if they were floor hosted... though I suppose I could've just done a face hosted family).  Anyway, I figured out what the problem is... placing the component is view specific.  For example, I had a "concourse" level plan open and it would only let me place the component on walls whose base was "concourse" level (not offset from concourse) .  If the wall was offset, it wouldn't. What I had to do was orient the concourse level to the default 3d view (so I could avoid having to work around the rest of the building which is already slowing my poor college student computer down), and then I could place them on the proper wall(s) within that view.  Once it was on the wall, I was then able to edit (and copy paste) in any view.  A little backwards, but an easy enough work around.  Now only 8000 more seats to go.... :\
