Family doesn't look same in project

I created a new door type in revit family. When i load into project everything looks good but plan. Glass frame shouldn't be seen in floor plans. Even if i change view range (cut plane: even less then 100cm) it still showing up there. I don't think it is about view range because door glass and glass frame are on same level but somehow only the frame showing up there. Does anybody know how to fix it?

In the family editor, select an element you don't want to show in a given view type, go to "Visibility/Graphic Overrides" in your properties bar, and uncheck the relevant boxes.

 

Another way to do it that requires a bit more setup (unless you did it already, which good for you if so), is to assign subcategories to all of your elements in the family, and then in your visibility graphic overrides in your project, turn any subcategories off you don't want to show in a given view.

Window & door families are not cut based on the cut plane defined in project views.

Instead they are cut based on the cut plane defined in the family's plan view.

...one other thing to check is the Project View's Detail Level (Coarse, Medium, Fine).  Elements could be hidden in one Detail Level but not another.
