Good afternoon
I am having such issues getting the detail item 'symbol' in the below Electrical Equipment family to be visible in project plan view.
I'm sure its going to be something simple I have just missed but I completely stumped.
I'm in REVIT full 2022
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

If you mount it to a Face of a wall you will likely need to put the symbol in the "FRONT" view of the family.
@curtisridenour Ok so it has to be something simple - I have it in a project and it looks like this .....
@curtisridenour Oh my goodness it was that! Thank you - knew it would be something silly.
Its odd because the other family's I've edited on the same surface were happy with ref view symbols - but I'm not going to question it now its working.
Thank you!
I think the difference is you are using a Detail Item instead of a Generic Annotation. Detail Items are important if you want to have the Size be accurate like a wall mounted light that is 2 feet wide. Symbols are often annotations so they show the same size on the sheet regardless of the scale of the view.
@curtisridenour This makes so much sense. I hadn't made the connection.
I'm working on a bunch of family's created by someone else so they all have their own induvial quirks.
I'm going to swap it out for a generic annotation.
Much appreciated.
