Detail Level Problem

Anonymous
Not applicable

I'm having a problem with detail levels. In my ground floor plan, at 1/8"=1'-0" on medium detail, I can see the stud line and wall material hatches, but in my second floor plan at the same scale on the same detail level, every wall (SAME wall types!) only shows the two outer lines (pictures attached). There are no view templates applied to either plan. What am I missing?

Are your view ranges settings identical too?

Go to VG of the 2nd floor plan view and check if the Walls category detail level is by View or is overriden.

...almost looks like the Cut Plane for Second Level is set above the Door headers.   

 

 

Nevermind me.  Neither of my posts make sense.  Whether you cut wall at 4'-0" or 7'-6" makes no difference. You should still see your GWB layer.  I'm with @ToanDN on this one.  Either that, or you mistakenly used Stud-Core-Only Walls at your 2nd Level.  

 

...unless of course, the cut plane is above the walls and not through them.

If their are overrides applied to the V/G for the first floor, you can make a view template from that view and apply those same overrides to the second floor.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Good thought but the detail level for walls is by view, same as on the ground floor.

Ah yes, I haven't put my doors in yet. But as for the view range, both views are set to their respective associated levels and Top: 7'-6"; Cut Plane: 4'-0"; Bottom: 0'-0"; View Depth Level: 0'-0"

How tall are the 2nd floor walls?

I didn't make them full height yet because I was waiting to attach them to a sloped roof. Well that's embarrassing. Thanks for the insight!

So the cut plane WAS above the walls at the second level like I guessed?

Haha, in fact that is the case, yes!
