Linked file in Revit not showing elevation lines

I teach Project Lead the Way's Civil Engineering and Architecture class and just switched this year to Revit 2025.

I have built a model house that has an elevation line called Ground.

I have another Revit file that has some topography in it and an elevation line called Ground Level.

In previous versions of Revit, I did the following:

Open the site plan.

Link the house file to the site plan.

Bring up an elevation view.

Note: when I brought up the elevation view in previous versions, the elevation lines of both the site plan file and the linked file were visible.

Finally, I used the align command to align the elevation line ground in the linked file with the elevation line Ground Level in the site plan file.

This worked great and put the linked house at the proper elevation.

My problem is simply in Revit 2025 when I bring in the linked file, I cannot get the linked file's elevation lines to be visible.  I have search and played with setting, but in the elevation view of the site plan, the site plan's elevation lines are visible but the elevation lines of the linked file (the house) are not.

I recognize that might not be enough detail to help solve this problem, but I think I am just missing a setting or something that changed in Revit 2025.

Thanks for your assistance.

That did it!

When I created a section view in the main file, the section view showed the elevation lines of the linked file as well.

I was then able to use the align tool to sync up the two ground levels.

Thank you for your insight.
