I am relatively new to revit and this may seem silly to some of you, but I have been having issues relating to shifting dimensions, particularly when I try to place walls and then attach further system families to them. I have tried various settings for the location line, however eveything I have tried thus far has still changed the dimensions of my wall. This has become quite problematic for me as I only discovered the problem towards the end of my model when attempting to install a shaft and staircase only to find I hadn't enough room to do so. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.

I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I do not understand your question. Are you talking about relocating/moving walls using Temporary Dimensions? If so, go to Manage tab->Additional Settings->Temporary Dimensions to adjust their settings.

Can you post a screen shot of your problem/question? A picture is worth a thousand words.

As requested I have added some screenshots to highlight my problem. You can see an example of my measurements for the wall which are in relation to the interior face, however when I attempt to add other walls it affects the measurments of the initial wall.

Your workflow is kinda backwards. You should place your walls in a general location, roughly where they supposed to be first, use temporary dims to fine tune their location and then use permanent dims. It doesn’t work too well (as you found out already) placing a dimension first and then inserting and aligning an object to that dim. Many times you even won’t be able to place a dim without an object being in the model first.

See this tutorial.
