Objects Not Showing Up in View Base

[Anonymous]

I am new to AutoCAD, but I have been using Inventor for the last several years.  I was excited to find the view base and projected views since they are so similar to how Inventor sets up views and sections.  I was able to use view base successfully with one model to show multiple section views of a space.  However when I tried with second model of a separate space in a separate file only one of the 3D objects show up.  All the appropriate layers are turned on.  I have tried turning off the layers and then turning them back on again, as was suggested in another post, that didn't work.  In both files the model has been XREFed in to the file to generate the layouts.  Both models contain multiple XREFs that create the overall model. 

What I am trying to accomplish is sections showing elevations of each of the walls in a space that will will automatically update when I update my 3D models.  I tried using live sections, but it seems like you can only have one section live in a file at a time.  If there is an easier why to accomplish what I am trying to achieve, please let me know.

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

Viewbase is really the way to go with this process but there are some known issues with the feature.

If you have mirrored blocks in your model then the views don't generate properly.

Also, scaling your entire model by 1.0001 will force the views to show up. Sometimes you might actually have to scale more than once.
