Does anyone know why an asset would appear invisible when imported into a scene

[Peteman12]

I'm getting this weird issue where when I import a particular asset into a scene in Maya, the asset does not appear to be visible in the scene. Everything else about it is normal (it has attributes, hierarchies, etc), but I can't see it. Does anyone know what might be going on?

If I import the asset into an empty scene, nothing goes wrong.

Turns out we were using render layers and the assets weren't being imported into it.

All we'd need to do is import it into the render layer
