I am working on a apartment complex with a sloping site. I am creating kitchen groups as most of the kitchens are similar. So i took all the kitchen families, counters, cabinents and appliances, and grouped them together. When i try to create another instance though, i have problems. The reason seems to be that my apartments floors are at difference elevations, as the site is sloping. but to avoid graphic confusion i have not created a level for each of these different elevations that each apartment is at. so the group attaches to the lowest available level and when i try to raise it, some of the families (mostly the appliances) won't move as they seem to be level based families (if there is such thing, still new to revit). is there any way to attach a group to a reference plane instead of a level? i am really trying to avoid create individual levels for each apartment because i have so many different ones, i think it would make all the drawings illegible and i would have to go each view and one by one get rid of the levels i don't want. Any suggestions?

Create different levels.  You can turn them off in views.
