Section Marker on different levels

Anonymous — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 14:41:09 GMT

I have a 2 level building with wall sections cut between both floors. As far as I can tell, the VG settings are identical between the two floors. However when moving between the floors in plan, the upper level floor is properly displaying section / elevation heads as solid filled and the lower level is showing just the outline heads and tails with no fill.

Looks like two different types.

It is the same section going from one floor to the other. I'm just not sure if there is a depth or VG setting that would make the section appear differently on separate floors.

hmm? Can you check to see if all the Annotation Categories (under VG Overrides) are turned on in the view?

The VG Settings for both floors are set the same way

I'm referring to the View Visibility/Graphic Overrides. Type "VG".

Can you share a stripped down file?

@Anonymous: Can you Duplicate with Detailing the View and tell me if the duplicate is showing the Section Head the same way?

with your upper floor sections, click on one of your sections and alternate the section head by clikcing on the Cylce arrow. your ground floor sections might just be showing a section head and your upper floor is showing the section tail (like Barthbradleys image shows)

Duplicate with detailing showed up the same way. At this point I am wondering if my Revit file got corrupted, because we have other projects in office that were started from the same template that do not have this issue.

It shows the same way when I cycle through the heads.

I checked with my Principals - they are concerned about sharing a file, even a stripped down file.

Is this a workshared file? You might want to create a detached copy and Audit, Purge, and scan the file for corruption -

Once the scan is done, any corrupt families are replaced by clean families, use this cleaned up file to replace your central.

Thanks, I will try to audit - it is workshared, so I will need to replace the central model.
