How To Tie-In First and Second Floors Together?

Is there a setting that anchors the entire house together from foundation, first/second floors? Attaching the screen shots for your use. When I moved the first floor (marque and move -200' for example), it moves it perfectly. When I select the second floor, it shows the original view but did not move the second floor. 

 

Hoping someone has a quick solution to this. Thanks in advance. I can't attach the actual model, as it's 41 MB and too large to send.

I think you're looking for the Edit Area tools.  Read up on this in the Help section.  The tool is very useful.

Many, many thanks for your comment! 

It worked. Solution is:

1. Marque select entire floor plan you wish to move

2. Select Edit (from top task bar) and select "Edit Area / Edit Area (All Floors)

3. Marque select floor plan again and hit Hot Key "T" for Transform/Replicate and select Copy,Move, then select the X or Y coordinates where you wish to locate it

4. Click OK and all floors are moved together. Double check by selecting the next floor above or below to make sure everything has moved

 

Chief Users are awesome!
