Hello again,

I am after some help with the following please....

Firstly, how does one alter the width of  a monolithic stair. I have tried adjusting Stair Width in 'Properties' and I cant find anything within the 'Parameters' of the stair to aid the situation either? 

Secondly, I am unable to get an internal wall to rise up to the desired level. I have set the constraints and the offsets for it to do so, but it just isn't showing through in Plan view in the model?

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

I've solved the stair width problem by quite simply 'Editing the Sketch' - still stuck on the walls not showing through floors issue though.

Anyone?

Is the wall attached to that floor at the top of the wall?  Cut a section.

The wall joins were disallowed from floor to ceiling but the wall has stubbornly refused to cut through the ceiling to the higher level. There must be something I have done badly wrong earlier in the process to cause this, but can't fathom it right now.

I have worked round this by drawing a new wall up to the correct level in section, and using underlay in Plan to draw a new wall (directly above  said offending element), and to the desired level.

You did not seem to understand my question.  

If say you create a wall that goes from first floor to second floor and has a top offset of 4', it shout show up on second floor - correct?   NO

If you edit the secod floor and when Revit asks "Do you want walls that come up to this level to attach to the bottom of the floor" and you answer "yes" - then the wall is attached to the bottom of the floor and does not honor the top extension ... even though it is still there in the properties.

Cut  a section through the wall that also shows the floor.  Pick the wall and select detach top/bottom then pick the floor.  Does that fix your problem?

Just processed this advice and the walls moved to the desired height immediatly.

That is an excellent tip because this scenario has bogged me for some time now so  thanks a lot!
