But what we can see, if we select this column, and if I look at level one to level two, notice the top offset is some funky number because that's the width of our beam. We don't want to have to guess what that is, so we can actually use the Attach function. Let's do that. To get started, let's jump into Revit. And I want to go to Open.

Now what we'll see is in 3D, is all of our columns are going from level one to level two. So, in our project browser, let's bounce up to level two. I'm going to zoom in here…
