Yeah, if you could tell us how you did this it could prove to be very helpful.

BTW I found how to do it in another thread. Here is my explanation: 1 - Position yourself in an elevation; 2 - Determine what is the difference between your base floor (ground floor in my case) and the desired level (let's say from 0'-0" to 100'-0" it is 100'-0" . 3 - Select your base floor level head and open the properties for it. 3.1 Edit the type and make sure the "Elevation Base" constraint is set to "shared" (you should only have two choices: "project" or shared". 4 - From the "Tools" drop down menu, select "Project Position / Orientation" and "Relocate this project". 4.1 - Pick a point in your workspace, give it a direction (let's say up, in my case) and enter the difference (you found out at step 2) , on the keyboard; 4.2 Hit "Enter" and wait... 4.3 Zoom to fit (ZF) 4.4 - Tadaa !

We have several buildings in one file that are currently on the same level. One building needs to be moved to a different level. How can we move just that building up a level and not the entire project? Each building is on a different workset and we are using 2008. Any help will be appreciated.

Theoricaly, if everything is linked together with various constraints, within your particular building, you could just change the relative elevation of one of the level bubble in elevation view and it should do it. Chances are it's not done 100% and you'll end up with several errors within the building model. But ,if you are confident and equipped with a powerfull computer, you may try it on a copy of your file (not to mess with your original, just in case). Another mean would be to save the particular building in a separate file (erase everything but the building and save as a separate file) , do the tricks I mentioned in my May post and re-insert it at the desisred point in you original drawing. Not a purist method, but it should do it. Hope this help. (did I mentioned I never had to try it ?) Please re-post if it worked or if you found a better way. J.

Thank you for the advise. I didn't see how I could change the elevation level though without moving all the buildings up to that new level. I ended up creating the new desired level, highlighting the entire bldg in the model, filtering out all but the walls and moving them up to the new level through properties. Then, using the elevations, I moved whatever items did not move with the walls. I used the filter because Revit would not allow me to move everything highlighted at once. It took a little bit of clean up but it worked.
