Corridor sections xref problems

I have a corridor model I have created in one drawing. In that drawing I have my alignment, profile, and corridor. In another drawing I have referenced in my corridor and alignment and I cut and created sections in this drawing. Everything up to this point is working fine. The sections look good, the corridor looks good, etc. Now when I go to xref those sections into my actual sheets, I run into problems. Half of my corridor does not show up. I have attached screen shots of what my section looks like it the drawing it was created, and in the drawing it is xref'd into. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong! I have tried sampling at all intervals, so I know that's not the issue.

I have had this problem when the corridor drawing is xrefed into the cross section drawing, which is then xrefed into cross section sheet drawings.

 

Open the original cross section drawing and change the reference type of the corridor xref from Overlay to Attach.  Save the cross section drawing and reload its reference in the sheet drawings.

Hmmmm, that's exactly what I posted on the 11-18, xrefs as attachments, makes a difference.

I see that now, the bold font and brevity of David's post makes a world of difference. I didn't ralize you were saying that the xref had to be an attachement, not an overlay. I thought you were just explaining your workflow.
