Pipe network structure not showing up in plan view

I have 7 manholes in my network, only 3 of them are visibile in the model tab though.

 

There is structure label on all of the manholes

 

I can use select similar to mark them and i get "Structure (7)".

 

I can even see them in the object viewer.

 

What am I doing wrong? I'm new to Pipe Network in general.

 

Thank you.

Are the "invisible" structures different styles per chance? They might be turned off in plan view in the style itself, or be on layers that are OFF or FROZEN based also on the style, not the actual layer that they reside in.

All structures are on the same layer.

 

I changed the styles of all structures to different ones and it doesn't matter. The structures visible remain visible and the invisible structures remain invisible. Since this is the second time I'm doing this It's probably something basic that I'm missing...I hope.

Just to be clear, having the structues on the same layer does not guarantee visibility amongst them... that is a style-driven issue. But if they are all the same structure and all the same style, you do have a problem.

 

Have you Audited the file? Do the invisible structure properties have reasonable Northings and Eastings? Reasonable elevations?

 

Just going through the basic checklist.

At the moment are all of your manholes on the same layer and the same style? If not please place all of them on the layer and style of the visable manholes. Also have you ran an audit or closed and opened autocad?

I realize this thread is over five years old, but I am experiencing this exact issue with C3D 2017 SP1.1. It's driving me crazy.

Civil 3d 017. Having same problem. Manholes disappeared over night. I pulled the back up saved 4:30 pm the night before manholes exist. This morning go to open the drawing file manholes gone.

I Recently experienced the same issue.  All of the pipe network items in a previous drawing were there but attempting to created a new structure or pipe yielded no visible structure despite the fact it was showing in toolspace as a structure/pipe.  I ended up resetting the pipe network catalog (Command setnetworkcatalog) to the same networked location that was shown, made sure the correct pipe and structure catalogs were set (us imperial for us) and then i was able to create new structures.  I don't know if this will solve or had solved any of the issues you guys had but it worked for me.

Ran into this issue recently.

Seems to be a part scale issue.  If you zoom extents, the manholes show up at a massive scale.  Need to change the part scale to "fixed".
