    Jorge,

    Ah, I see.
    You need to give each house a different floor level - not Chief's zero level.
    If you have already build the houses at zero and they are small houses, it is probably easiest to do it room by room.
    Or, you can make some of the walls No Wall Def and do it all in one go for each house.

    Jorge:

    try using select same and load same per floor starting with the lowest floor
    to move the house to the desired lower height

    the problem is each time you add a room or lose room definition chief will revert to the default of floor height 0
    for that room

    this applies for any of the multiple houses in the plan

    it would be nice if chief wouldn't do this or at least warn us if it needs to change a floor height already set

    this is a case where having floor locks would be desirable

    Yes, thank you...!

    What if your houses are multilevel houses? say 3 floors each?
    Will you have to do floor by floor, room by room, and lastly the roof?

    This will certainly be a big setback...

    It may be doable, but I doubt if it's "easy"

    again it's subject to chief reverting to the defaults, whenever chief finds the need to do so


    bottom line, your probably better off with a separate plan for each house and then convert them to symbols and place them in a master site plan
