Walls not showing in RCP

danaR7AZZ — Wed, 07 Aug 2024 23:41:12 GMT

Has anyone run into this issue before? My walls aren't showing up in my second floor RCP. All walls extend from floor to roof (verified this in 3D)Everything looks normal in the first floor RCP. I've checked all visibility/graphics filters and also tried copy the view range from the 1st floor RCP. I'm out of ideas! Any help wold be greatly appreciated!

View Phase?

This is a great list but unfortunately none of these could solve the problem. Here is a screenshot of my view range if it's helpful.

The view template is likely not the issue because I have the exact same template applied to the 1st floor RCP, and everything looks normal in that one.

Phase filter is set to show all.

Thank you for your ideas!

That image sure looks like the category is turned off. View Range for a RCP should be cutting at the "highest" it can and still intersect doors so the openings are visible, using V/G to turn of Doors or the sub-category panel, plan swing. The Top of View Range should be as high as the space between the level and the floor above. View Depth (Upth in RCP) should be at least the same value as Top, or higher if there is vaulted ceiling space or atrium openings.

My second guess is that the Walls only go up to 7'-1". How'd I do?

Thanks Steve. I sure wish it was as simple as the wall visibility being turned off. Here's a screenshot of most of my visibility settings, in case there's something else obvious that I'm missing. But again, the most confusing part of this is that I have the exact same visibility settings and view range set on the first floor without any issues. I've played with the view range a bit but still no luck. This one has me stumped!

You know, you can also post your RVT here, as well as pix.

Good guess Bradley, but unfortunately all walls do extend from floor to ceiling, which I've confirmed in 3D section. Let me know if you've got any other ideas!

@barthbradley The file has too much client information to share on a public forum, but I'm happy to keep sharing screenshots of anything that might be a clue.

Have you checked to see if there is anything between 7'-2" and 7'-4". Size a Section Box in 3D View to the RCP's View Range.

@barthbradley I cut a 3D section through the view range and tried deleting the roof for sake of experimentation--and that fixed it! The roof is 8'-1" above the referenced level so it wasn't in the way, but I also realized this RCP was referencing old levels that are still in the file but do not correlate to the actual building levels. So I think the main culprit was keeping similarly-named but defunct levels in the project. Thank you for your troubleshooting help, I really appreciate it!
