I have a co-worker who is trying to place rooms in his model and he keeps getting a message saying "A Room's Upper Limit must be above its Base Level." I have never encountered this message before. I am attaching a screen shot of the message

my guess is that you have set a workplane in the view other than what it should be. Thats also why you are getting the error for what you have drawn is not visible in the view.

Look at the room properties when you go to place it.

From your HELP:

On the Options Bar, do the following:

• For Upper Limit, specify the level from which to measure the upper boundary of the room.

  For example, if you are adding a room to a Level 1 floor plan, and you want the room to extend from Level 1 to Level 2 or some point above Level 2, specify an Upper Limit of Level 2.
