You really need to provide more information about your problem to get reasonable help :!:
Which component of the level does not update? An entity setting, the level geometry, the lighting, ...?
Is the file path in the compile dialog set up correctly? Is the 'Entities Only' option in the compile dialog checked or unchecked? Does the level compile without any errors?
Do you run the level using the preview option in the editor or by starting RealityFactory.exe directly?
... :?:

More information:
When i finish changing my level and build compile no errors occur. After compiling it will not let me preview my level because it says realityfactory.exe cannot be found!. Basically When i compile then run it through reality factory it doesnt update anything and all the walls are the same textures! I do not have the "Entities Only" Checkbox Checked. It only makes 2 rooms all the same textures with one robot. My RF Edit Pro says it has 4 rooms in my level.

A simple forum search would have told you that this is a known issue. Level preview does not work.

Start the editor from within the tools folder instead of the start menu shortcut (the installer has a bug and doesn't set up the working directory correctly for that link). If you're already doing so, try to install Reality Factory to C:\RealityFactory instead of the default option C:\Program Files\RealityFactory.
Don't use the 'View with Engine' option as that one is pretty much broken. Instead use the 'Preview in Reality Factory' option in the compile dialog. (I suppose you're already doing this, though)

Double check that the output path in the compile dialog is correct, e.g. if you installed RF to C:\RealityFactory then the path should be something like C:\RealityFactory\media\levels\mylevel.map
