you can open up the Visibility/Graphics dialog box (type in VV or VG or go to View Tab, Graphics Panel, click Visibility/Graphics icon). Within this window, look for the duct fittings/accessories categories and click into the white cells to adjust the color, weight, linetype, etc. Make sure the Filter List has the Mechanical discipline checked.

I would also check the duct system settings to verify their aren't any display overrides that are causing this. Lastly, check to see if any filters are applied to the view that are causing this too.

Hi! Log in to the family editor. Management. Object style. I have a Russian Revit 2017. See picture. Good luck.

Could you attach your drawing to here? So we can easily find the solution.

The very first place to check is the Object Style settings. This is your default settings. Everything else is an override. If the Object Styles are set correctly, remove all view specific overrides, including any filters that might be applied to those categories.

Maybe they are set to half tone. I don't think you can set them to underlay.

Can you please verify that you have checked ALL of the visibility settings mentioned already?

Hello, I think if you go to MANAGE- object style - model objects, ducts and change projection number. I hope it works

This will happen if you have selected Underlay option in your view properties. Don't make changes to type properties in VG graphics as that will change appearance of elements (in this case, duct/duct fittings) in all drawings where the same view template is applied.

Simply go to property bar on left, and select Range:Base level: 'None'. In Underlay tab.

Make sure your cut plane is set below these elements elevation
