there could be several reasons (33 to be precise). One might be that the wall isn't within the View Range.

...actually, @treyk posted a list today of 50 reasons why something may not show up in view. It was pretty darn good. I made a hardcopy of it for quick reference.

Hi @Anonymous,

Thank you for participating Answer Day!

You can check this article: None of the Created Elements Are Visible in This View for a start. You may also want to check the view range of your plan.

Please let me know how it goes.

Did you happen to create Structure wall and have Depth selected in stead of Height? If so, it is the reason the wall is not visible because it is drawn below the level.

so basically @ToanDN, it isn't within the View Range --- exactly what I said.

In addition to what @ToanDN shared, there are Wall: Architectural and Wall: Structural that you can choose from. If you selected Wall: Structural, by default, the setting is DEPTH.

Thank you.

Wow... I had the 33-point list already. Printing out the 50-point list now! Thumb-tacked to the wall by my desk.
