Hidden dimensions in section plan

[mairh_tsek]

Hello all,

I have a problem with the visibility of dimensions.

In the sections there are some dimensions that are hide. 

In the VG the category is On and when I 'reveal hiddel elements' I can see the dimensions grey out. So normally they are shouldn't be hide.

See the attachments.

Any idea?

Thank you in advance!

@mairh_tsek - when you click the little lightbulb at the bottom of your screen, does the hidden dimension show up? When that happens, right click on it and unhide it in the view.

That linetype doesn't look familiar to me.  Is is possibly coming from a CAD Import or Link?  Can you select and check its Properties?

They are hidden because the elements they are dimensioning (witnesses) are hidden.  Unhide the witness elements and the dimensions will show.

I didn't understand very well, I Turn on the lightbuld and it seems that the elements that the dimension is connected are not hidden..

When I click the lightbuld (see image 1) I can see the dimension but the options in Ungide View are grey out.

When I turn off the lightbuld the dimension disappear (see image 2)

Then what are the purple lines that between the dimensions? Are they not the hosts of the dimensions?

[mairh_tsek]

The purple lines are some levels that I have hidden. But the dimensions are host to the floor. I will give a try one more time..

The dimension is NOT HIDDEN; the LEVEL LINE that the dimension is pulled from is the thing that is hidden in the view.  Just delete the darn dimension inside Reveal Hidden Elements, return to normal View (no Level Lines visible) and redo the dimension.
