One of my floor plan views is associated to an incorrect level that is 3' below what it should be. The building is located on the appropriate level. As such, wall hosted items are either not appearing, or are appearing incorrectly.

How can I change the associated level of this floor plan view?

I saw elsewhere on this forum that with a similar problem, someone suggested creating a new view with the correct associated level and then copy-pasting any details over. I have not found this to be helpful. I have callouts that are already fully detailed and when I copy paste them, all it does is essentially create a new callout with no notes, dimensions, etc. This suggestion seems to require me to redo every detailed callout on the sheet.

Do you have many wall-hosted elements that are incorrectly placed? If not too many- why not just change the Elevation / Offset parameter for these elmements to compensate?

To elaborate more...one of the major issues we are having with that building is that our MEP consulants are taking the model and trying to wall-host and insert objects into that floor plan view and they are not showing up, because of the wrong associated level.

It seems counterproductive to just change offset parameters for everything that is inserted and to have to tell our consultants to do the same.

My thought was, that if somehow the floor plan view can become associated with the wrong level, then it should be able to be modified back to be associated with the correct level.

I can't imagine how the view could have bceome disassociated with the proper level in the first place.
