wall visibility at roof (and other floors) basic imperial template

Okay so I honestly was starting to feel like I was gaining some proficiency but I've been thrown for a loop by the simplest thing and I'm kind at a loss.

I wanted to try some structural alignment stuff out on a basic flat roof (making a center drain point and then trying to align the joists to the resulting roof...it's honestly immaterial to my issue)

so I opened a new project using the imperial template.

Drew some walls. I cant see them when I go to the roof plan. weird. I made sure that I drew them tall enough. yup. checked the visibility settings. yup. walls should be visible. checked my view range. yup, seems fine to me. but just in case I changed the view depth to unlimited. still nothing. checked 2nd floor plan. walls not showing up there either, even though they are going all the way up past the roof.

Am I messing up some basic thing? (screenshot attached)

Post the Revit file... Could be a few things, but some ideas:

Your roof plan may be cropped, and walls are outside the crop region
Walls may be set to hiden in the view. Check the Visibility/Graphic Overrides for the view or view template

Looks like something was just corrupt with that view, unless I missed something... Either way quickest fix is to just create another roof plan view at the same elevation and delete the old one. I attached the Revit file with the corrected roof plan, but you can do it too.

If you change phase to PC, roof is showing up. I would not underlay roof view either.

Check phasing of the roof plan view versus the walls.

Okay thanks guys! Phasing isn't something I am familiar with yet and it never occurred to look at that!
