What is going on here? When I bring the family into my Revit file it will host only on walls, or the sides, but not the top, of the plinth I've drawn.

There are a few possibilities:
-Wall or Face based. It will only place on faces of objects and not on floors in floor plan views. In the task bar there should be the option to choose if you want to place it on a Workplane (the level) instead of a face.
-Workplane based. Work exactly like Face based, except that if you go in the family and uncheck the 'workplane based' tick box it becomes a normal level based family
-Level based. Can always be changed back to Workplane based if required.
So my advice is always use Level Based (the 'normal' family template) and if you have manufacturers families that are set up differently, put them inside your own standard template family."One must imagine Sisyphus happy."

But i think its important to understand why a problem occurs, and it makes me wonder why you bothered responding if you dont have the answer.
Also be sure you are using the MEP version of the family and not the Arch version, as MEP versions are face based or level based, like Joseph mentioned.Michael "MP" Patrick (Deceased - R.I.P)
