When I edit first floor wall to fit to roof in 3-d mode my second floor walls Jump to a higher elevation.  I've tried un-checking cleanup and anchor but doesn't help.

check to see where your reference points light up with.  you might have a taller wall on the first floor and your point on the second floor is using that as a reference.

I've checked the wall heights in profile mode they are all the same.

I used to have this problem happen a lot.  Randy gave me a solution years ago that has always solved the problem.  Erase all your reference points, assuming you already have them.  Place new reference point on the LOWEST floor in your assembly...probably the basement or foundation?   Then "Copy to softplan clipboard" and draw a box around the reference point.  Go to the other floors in your assembly and "Paste From Softplan Clipboard" and "HOLD POSITION.  That will not only put the reference point where its supposed to be, but it will keep the floors above from moving up like you are describing.  Should work...I still have to use that trick regularly.

Place new reference point on the LOWEST floor in your assembly...

 

Has to be the CIRCULAR REFERENCE, all the others (as far as I'm aware) work for location, but NOT height.

 

All CIRCULAR REFERENCE POINTS will STACK vertically on top of the highest point AT THE REFERENCE.

 

You may also find that a staircase or similar object is pushing your second floor walls higher than they should if you aren't using the circular reference.

Carl, this sounds like a trick question, like in My Cousin Vinny.

is there a first floor and second floor. does the roof sit on the 2nd floor?

if so why would you want the first floor wall to go up to the roof,

as sam mentions above,  start putting the ref pts (circular w/ crosshairs) on the lowest floor AND the lowest wall on that floor.

 

and as long as the floor above are done correctly,  they'll fit perfectly into the floor below them.

 

tip:  try not to have a NEGATIVE offset on any walls.  on any floor plan. 

START the lowest wall on each plan at 0.00" and go UP from there as required

by your floor levels.
