Multi level module

I've created a module that has various parts and pieces and layers that is continuous vertically, over three stories. I make the module, and it all shows up fine in the .mod file.
When I insert it into another .pln, I rotate it and lower it approx 50 inches. Now parts of it do not show up on the .pln in which it is inserted. I know the .mod id complete, all layers are all turned on in both the .mod and the .pln, nothing is locked. The pieces that do not show up are slabs and a shell.
The same pieces do not show up when I insert the .mod at the same height as well, without dropping it, so I know the problem is not levels....I don't think.
Any ideas?

You have insert each of your plane you have in your modfile so everything else are correct?

Checked the story levels. Found I do have a problem there. See the attahed .jpg. The second story has the same dimension for the bottom of the level and the height of the level. If I change the height of the second level, then the bottom of the third level goes up by the same amount. If I change the third level, the second level changes. It is like those two numbers are locked with 136 inches between them, and I can't change them.
I am surprised I have not noticed it as any kind of a problem. I went back a couple of versions and found this has been set like this for several months.
I'm sure that's the problem which has come to light via the modules, but can anyone tell me how to unlock the link between the second and third levels.

Uh...never mind. The height is actually the amount of space.....so faulty logic applied on the previous post. Still have the module problem.

As to the reply from the gentleman from Sweden.....the stories are the same for both the module and the .pln, if that is what you are asking.
