Hi, I am on Revit 8.1 and I've been using it about two weeks.  In some places where I have a floor, the walls below stop at the underside of the floor instead of continuing up to the actual level.  Once, I erased the floor and they fixed themselves.  Later, I tried it again and they didn't.  All my level offsets are zero, how do I fix this?

 Thank you kindly,

The walls tops are attached to your floor.  Typically when you draw a floor you'll usually get a prompt asking if you want walls that are under this floor to attach to it.

To attach or detach a wall.  Select it, then at the top status bar select attach (top or bottom radio button depending on which bit you want to attach) then select the element that you want it to attach to.  This is the same process for detach.

HTH.
