Callouts not showing in Revit

Hello -

I'm having trouble getting my plan callout to show in a view template. What I want is the plan callout to be visible as part of the view template titled, "Floor Plan Overall 1"=20".

Items I have checked:

- "Hide at scales coarser than..." (does not apply to plan callouts)

- visibility graphics across view template and visibility graphics (see images)

- phasing, both views are set to the same

- no filters are set in the view template

 

Thanks in advance, happy to clarify anything. (Apologies if this has been solved already).

I am not sure I get what you are aiming at in the two attachd images and what is meant by " the callout to show in the View Template".

 

Do you wish to see the call out bubble in the view named "H Overall Plan - Pool Copy 1"? if that is the case, select the call out and on the properties pallet select Show in: Intersecting views instead of Parent View only. However, I do not believe this can be captured and saved in the view template. By default the software assumes that the user do no want such call out bubbles showing everywhere in the views unless specifically intended. 

 

Moreover, the option to show a callout in all intesecting view relates to the call out bubble itself (+/-  the visibility graphics of the call out bubble element) and not the view itself where you are applying the view template

Apologies @RDAOU, I'll try to clarify the attachments.

Image 1: is a floor plan view with a view template "Floor Plan Overall 1"=20'" applied to it. I drew a plan callout on that floor plan and it does not appear (Even with +/- the visibility graphics of the call out bubble element selected, see attachment)

Image 2: duplicated with detailing floor plan view with no view template applied to it. 

 

I'm trying to adjust the settings on my view template via V/G Overrides to allow the plan callout to be shown. Also - I'm not seeing the "Show in: Intersecting Views" option (see attachment), it's a callout that references another view - maybe that's the reason why.

In the original question you stated Plan View Callout therefore the confusion. The option to propagate/show on intersecting views as explained in my previous reply applies only to live views. This option is not available for callouts that  "Reference other Views" 

 

A Quick solution: simply delete the original view where you placed the callout and rename the one which is suffixed Copy 1  

 

If you want to dig in deeper to find out the reason why, that would be more or less an indean poker game. The screenshot of the VG you posted looks ok but there could be several other reason why it refuses to show on the parent view where you have placed it

  • Option 1: There used to be a list of 50 reasons why stuff may disappear in Revit, youmay try google it and test in your model
  • Option 2: Upload the model and someone can go through it quick and tell you whats wrong
