The problem I am having is that some wall hosted families are associating with the wrong level due to bad placement by other users on the project and the level is greyed out in the element properties. I know I can just move some of the elements one at a time but would like to be able to change the associated level in element properties for a lot of elements at once. Does anyone have a work around for this? The basic problem is that I have hooks associated with level A with and offset of 4' 2 11/16" and the same hook component associated with Level B and an offset of 1'6". How can i take all of the hooks associated with Level B and re-associate them to Level A?

It might be easiest to select the items you want to reassociate, copy or cut to clipboard, and paste -> aligned to selected levels

I believe all you will have to do is make the elements editable and you can do that with multiple chices, then you can set their associated level.

Hi,

I have the exact same problem with families associated with wrong level. Have tried to make familyparameter editable as suggested, but I´m still not sure how to do this. Please elaborate. Thanks.

If the family is level associated, then it will show in the element properties.  Properties window.  Click on the family and change the level.  Will this move your family?  It might.  If the family is hosted on one but it has been moved to show on level 2, then that is another parameter that would have to be set.

Old thread but still unclear to me.  The level in the properties of a family I am using is greyed out and will not let you change it once its hosted?  Is there a way to change the level property of the family rather than having to open correct level view and rehost it?
