Is there a way to group walls/elements that occur on different stories?

Thanks Again

Yes. Turn all other layers off, go to 3d window, select and group there. Don't forget to have 'suspend groups' off.

And if you want to include 2D elements, you will need to group those with at least one 3D element in the floor plan(s) before going to the 3D window and grouping them again.

The good thing about AC12 is that it if you edit a multistory group in plan it will show all the elements over all stories as selected.
