Geometry of one nested family incorrectly obscures the geometry of another nested family within the host family

I have a manufacturer-created sink family consisting of three nested families (1) a faucet and handles (2) a sink basin with an elevated back lip (3) drain piping. The family looks correct when viewed in plan, 3D, and Right/Left/Rear elevations. The problem is with the front elevation view. The faucet family sits on top of the sink basin in front of the back lip. When viewed in the front elevation, however, this back lip obscures the faucet/handles, giving the appearance that the faucet is behind the back lip.

 

I have attached the family. The view in question is under Elevations --> Interior.

Drill down to the nested Sink Family. It's geometry is not visible in Front/Back View. What you are seeing is a 2D Detail - not the geometry. Get rid of the 2D Detail and make the Geometry Visible in Front/Back View by checking Front/Back under Visibility Settings.

NOTE: Detail Items and Masking Regions are always brought to the foreground.
