Loft Not Showing up in Camera View

[kpretoriadawson]

I'm designing a house and would love for there to be a loft just above a second-story playroom. I created a level that I titled Loft and went to my loft view to place walls, a floor, and a railing. I then edited the ceiling boundary of the second level so there would be just open space to still see the loft from the playroom. Now as I try and add a camera view I want to be able to see the the loft as it sits above the second story, but I am not able to see it in the camera view. Any reason why not?Loft Question 2.pngLoft Question Screenshot.png

So you want the top screenshot to show the loft.  Uncheck Far Clip Active. Does it show up?  

Also, FWIW, you can go to any Plan or Elevation View, Right-Click on a 3D Camera View in the Project Browser and select Show Camera in the Right-Click Menu.  Then you can see in the Plan/Elevation View what exactly is captured by the Camera.

Here's a cheat-sheet to reference when you can't see something in the view.

Okay, I unchecked the box and applied which didn't do anything. I also tried to adjust the camera in the west elevation which didn't show the left either.

Could be any number of reasons. There's 33 in that cheat-sheet I posted.  Maybe Phasing related?

If I raise the elevation of the camera view to the elevation of the loft I can then see the loft, but I am no longer able to see the room beneath it or the doors there. I've also checked the hidden elements and it's not hiddenLoft Question 3.pngLoft Question 4.png

Sounds like something is above the camera. Maybe a ceiling or floor obstructing camera view.  

You are more than welcome to post your project here if you want us to have a look and see.

Okay, here's what I'm working on. Thanks so much for your help!

You have a ceiling and roof above. Hide them.

Oh, that's so frustrating! I did edit the boundary of the ceiling before, but somehow it must have been undone. Thank you!
