Adding elevation views to different drawings/views?

[cjacobsLDX59]

Hi all,

So I have a project with two structural plans in it. In one plan, I can add elevation views just fine, and yet in the other Revit won't let me (see below screenshot, NOTING THAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING INTO WAYS TO FIX THIS WITH VISIBILITY PARAMETERS, UNSUCCESSFULLY, FOR CLOSE TO 24H AT THIS POINT). Does anyone know what specifically might be preventing me preventing me from adding elevation views to this other structural plan?

Thanks in advance,

I think the list in the message is somewhat specific. Without the model, it's hard to get any more definitive.

Share the model.

Check and see if the elevation category is turn on.

If it is, check and see if the elevation is also set to large scale.

It's a model I'm working in for my job, so unfortunately I can't share it.

[cjacobsLDX59]

Already confirmed each of these multiple times, unfortunately.

You've got the information that you need. You have a working view. What are the differences?

Alternatively, just create a new view using a view template created from the working view.

Check and see elevation set to what discipline and hidden set to none.

Tried just now - no luck.

The differences is what I'm having a hard time determining, as they seem to have identical settings across the board.

I can't just make a new view, as I'd lose the days' worth of work I've put into my problem view.

Did you ask the same exact question in at least one other thread?  Set the elevation views' Discipline to Coordination.

You won't lose anything if you don't delete the problem view. Annotations can be copy/pasted.

I've been asking very similar, related questions because this problem has had me stuck at work for an entire day at this point.

I've already tried changing its discipline with no luck.

Please show the properties of the elevation view and the structural plan view in two separate pictures.

Edit: @syman2000 is correct.  Your elevation only shows in full scaled (12" = 1') plan view.  You need to change the [Hide at scale coarser than] value to something smaller than the scale of your plan views (1/8"=1' as you show it).

Thanks but I need to see the full properties panel of the views, not the views drawing area.

[syman2000]

Your scale is set to 12" = 1'-0". Change it to 1" = 400'-0"

That would be coarser.
