I am using Revit Arch 2011. I'm trying to place an architectural column on the second floor but it is automatically placed on the first floor, regardless of whether or not I set its base level to "floor 2". Anyone have any thoughts on why this is the case? Thanks!

have you checked the top and bottom offsets? if there is a 10 foot gap between the first and second floors, and you change the base level but it keeps a -10' offset, itll be in the same location.

Where is the level above level two? Are you sure it's an 'architectural column? How are you constraining the top and bottom? Give us a screen capture before you actually place the column. ALT-PRTSC or Snip tool in Windows 7 Like attached.

Changing the offset doesn't do anything...it's as though it's constained. And as far as I know, it's not a structural column. Is there any way I can check that? and I've attached a print screen image. Thanks!

If changing the offset doesn't do anything, that means you do have some constraints set.Although I cannot tell too much from the printscreen, I do see that you have the column at a set height (9') rather than having it be from level to level. Also, it seems as though the column is constrained to Truss B/8 which you can change from the modify - place column toolbar. This said, I do not see where your column actually is in the printscreen; i see walls but no columns.

I've attached another print screen with a column placed. Additionally, I attached a section of that placed column. You can see how it's on the first floor, but extended up to the Truss Bearing Level. It doesn't matter if I have it set to Level 1, 2, 3, etc... it always is placed on the first floor. But the height depends on the level/height I have set. Is there any way I can "edit family" and remove any constraints that may be on the column?
