Revit MEP 2014 - Underlays

I'm a lighitng designer using Revit MEP and trying to create a RCP with an underlay showing the furniture underneath.  When I turn on an underlay of the associated level floor plan, nothing shows up.  I've checked to make sure I  have all the categories turned on in visibility graphics.  The problem doesn't seem to respond to any view range adjustments.  Is this a limitation of MEP?  I'm new to this platform and never had a problem like this in Revit Architecture.

1st, you don't say how (or what) you're working with for the back ground/underlay.....Cad File, Linked Revit Arch, etc.  If you could give a little more info, it would be helpful to diagnose.  That being said, I'd check the orientation of the view im in , Plan or RCP, and "maybe" that the clg(s) have a Transparency set.

Without a little more upfront, that's the best I can offer.

 

HTH.

Sorry.  I'm working in a ceiling/lighitng model with linked architectural models for the shell, interiors, and core elements.  So the furniture elements that I'm hoping to see when I turn on the underlay (orientation set to plan) are in the linked interiors model.

I hadn't thought of the ceiling transparency, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to do the trick.

 

Thanks for the suggestions!

your model...
