Now the default templates that come with the software are not configured this way. They all include a site plan, but if you select the site plan view, which I currently have open, and scroll down on the Properties palette to the Associated Level parameter, you'll see that the associated level for the site plan is actually set to Level 1. Now if you hover over the associated level name, it gives you a tool tip, and it says, "This is a read-only field." The problem is if you use the out-of-the-box templates to create your project file, you'll get this site plan view that associated to Level 1 and you can't change that. So the only way you can change it is to create a new level, call it Site or whatever you want to call it, and then create a new site plan to go along with that level…
