Object modeled in plan view does not show in 3d view

Anonymous — Thu, 05 Apr 2018 14:15:04 GMT

I am new to Revit and when I am modeling cable tray at (24'-3" offset) in a mechanical room it does not appear in the 3d view.

I have checked visibility graphics/ model annotations and it is checked for visibility.

Any ideas to direct me where to look would be very helpful.

Thanks

Have you checked the phase in which the cable tray is modelled?, since current phase filter is set to Show Previous + New.

Could also be a filter that hides it. Check those as well.

I'm assuming you didn't hide them in view. You could use the Reveal hidden elements on the View Control bar to see if you accidentaly hid it in view.

I would like to add a list of checks that I like to give to the people in my office. You can always find a solution among the options:

Solved it.

Although it wasn't the phasing. I went through every one of the phases listed and it didn't help.

Then, checked in with the Reveal Hidden Elements and nothing helped there.

Then I noticed that in 3D the exterior wall wasn't as high as it is in elevations. So I clicked on the view and pull the control arrows up to a higher point and there was the cable tray.

Thank you for helping me.

I attached a pdf to show you.

Thank you for the list. I printed it out to refer to it. I did solve the problem. Please see my reply to the first post of this thread.

Thank you.
