I have drawn a house and am attempting to draw an enclosed porch on the front. I already have interior joists drawn at 9.25" and when I add joist to porch area 4" offset down they are drawn at 9.25".When I edit them to 7.25" the entire floor gets changed to that dimension. How do I just edit porch floor.

   If you're using floor system instead of deck to draw the porch floor, edit the porch floor system and set it as "Level 2"

Use of levels is the only way around such things. Every time you add another floor system part, be sure to check all to see if they moved. Sometimes unknowingly a floor level with default and something you thought was set on one level with change with others.
