Why does my foundation not show in a floor plan?

The top of it is "level 1" I believe the view settings had top = level 1, bottom = unlimited, and cut plane = 4' 0" . Shouldn't it show? I want just the foundation components only showing.

You might be having floor slab between ur cut plane and foundation.
See your plan in wireframe if foundation is there.
You can also use show hidden tool available on modify tab to show foundation in dotted lines.

foundation walls go down- regular walls go up..

if you want to see a foundation wall on the
level you drew it on- you need to either
turn on underlay or drop the view range..

Try changing the family Visibility Graphics. You may have to check the box for Course, Medium or Fine.

Gents, 

As I found the solution - Please change the View Depth in the View Range, Change it to your required ''Level below or Unlimited''

 

I hope this will work.

This is the solution thank you! I Changed my plan view from architectural to structural foundation plan and it automatically switched to looking down and my foundation walls ver visable

If your Floor Plan can work using a Structural Discipline---

View Properties>Structural Discipline>Show Hidden Lines by Discipline

 

If you need the footings to show dashed on an Architectural Plan View--Set up a Level called Foundation. Then,

try using an Underlay set to Level: Foundation. You will see the footings below. Then use the Linework Tool

and select the outlines of the footings and use a Hidden Line Style. Then turn off the Underlay. The Linework will remain visible, and it will adapt to any future changes in the footings.

It may be a stupid question, but have you checked that you are in "Floor Plans", and not in "Ceiling Plans"?
