If you change to other graphic display (IE: hidden line, shaded, consistent), does the line show up? Also is the panel family embedded into adaptive panel or not?

Looks to me like unconstrained geometry in the family. Post the family here if you can't figure it out and we'll fix it.

Get in the habit of flexing your custom-built families to see if they break. In this case, I changed the horizontal and vertical spacing and immediately found the problem. Nothing is constrained properly!

I would suggest putting this family aside and researching how to build a pattern-based curtain panel. Goggle it.

Here's a video I found:
