This is happening to me on several projects as well. All of them were created from a 2012 template, or updated from  2012 files.

I don't have revit models linked in any of my files, but I do have cad files linked.

This is a major problem and very difficult to work around.

Make sure your view is set to Hidden View, not wireframe.

[#3]

grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I'm sorry, not a professional response by me but anyone who read the thread could tell we're talking about hundreds of views on multiple files. Not likely we're missing hiden line vs. wireframe here.

[#4]

for us, it seems to be an issue with the Discipline of the view.

If the view is set to Discipline: Structural, the masking and filled regions misbehave.

If the view is set to Discipline: Coordination, the masking and filled regions work correctly. 

But we don't always want our views set to Coordination.

[#5]

Yes! This is the culprit for my views as well. So obvious once you said it - every view that I am having trouble with was a structural discipline view. Changing to coordination seems to fix all of the issues, although I haven't spent enough time determining if it fixes all of them.

I'll be spending a significant amount of time today changing views to coordination & making sure no undesired objects become visible in the process.

Thank you very much for taking the time to post your work-around solution.

This should be fixed in Revit2013 Update Rlease 1.

It can be downloaded from the Revit Structure Update web page:

I have this problem too.  In Revit 2013 when the view is set to structural and a linked file is visible, anything that is supposed to be opaque becomes transparent and any solid color filled region becomes empty. If I switch to coordination instead of structural or hide the linked file, everything magically starts showing correctly again.  Why is this happening and how do I make it show correctly ALL the time, not just some of the time? 

[#8]

have you downloaded and installed Service Pack 1 that came out late last week?  Seems to have fixed the issue for me and a few others.

See Joe's post two above mine.

[#9]

Service pack doesn't fix the problem. Poblems arise while using linked models  and The disipline of the view is structural.

Switching to coordination "fixes" the problem. we really need a hotfix on this asap.

There is a separate issue related to Underlays and views with a Structural View Discipline.

Are the linked files you are seeing problems with set to underlay in the Structural view (and does unchecking the Underlay checkbox affect the issue)?
