Was the top included in the Assembly? If not, then Edit and Add it.

BTW: This is what I mean by "Top" View:

I think I misunderstand what you said. I want to created a 3D view of the assembly however the top elements are not visible from the view. Do you know what setting I should change? The first picture has covers and they disappear in the 3D view.

Were you including the cover when creating the assembly? No. Just edit the assembly and add it in.

How would you know? In which assembly views do you see it?

What's the name of the Assembly View you are in?

It's the 3D view. I found out the solution and it worked. The cover is a nested family in the frame and I recreated it in the Frame's family.

The nested family is shared. You could keep it as is, just add it to the assembly by using TAB to select it.

So basically, it's a Shared Family that is NOT added to the Assembly. So, Add it then.
