Model info disappeared in plan view

At some point while using AGACAD plugins, my model info disappeared from both my first and second floor plans. Has anyone had this happen before?

Revit 2020
Windows 10
Latest drivers: installed

I think those statements are pretty much an admission of guilt. You should have plead the 5th.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

To create the new floor plan I literally just drew a new level at the same elevation as my "01 - FIRST FLOOR PLAN" then used *right click* "Go to floor plan" for "Level 19."

Also just realizing that my elevations are the same. WAIT. Two of my elevations still show the way they should, and the model is invisible in the other two.

Set the Elevation View Far Clipping to No Clip and maybe move the Elevation Marker away from the Building in Plan View.

Check the View's Phase and Phase Filter.

It is not how you create a new floor plan, you just open the exact same ole floor plan view, plus adding a new level at the same elevation as the old level is a bad idea. 

 

Please do it again per my previous post.

I had no intention of keeping the level that I created, it was just for troubleshooting purposes. I created a save-as before attempting any of this.
See below:
The phasing is set to "Show All" 
I created the plan as you instructed duplicating the current "01 - FIRST FLOOR PLAN" 
(I have hidden elements viewer on, because otherwise it is just a blank screen)

Here's a handy reference to use when you can't find/see stuff in the View:

I did not instruct you to duplicate the old floor plan because the copy will just carry all the bad settings from the old one.  Please read the steps to create a new floor plan view again.

This would be a whole lot faster and easier to troubleshoot if you could just post your file here for us to look at.  Know what I mean? Beats the heck out of guessing. 😉

Okay, I unchecked [Do not duplicate existing views] Now what? I click on my current First Floor Plan and hit OK? Doesn't that mean I'm just duplicating that view? Tell me if I'm doing something wrong, but I followed your instructions and there is still no change.

Click OK to create a new plan view of the same level without any precedent overrides.  It is NOT the same as  create a new view using Duplicating from an existing view.

For all your viewing (dis)pleasure! I have created a Google Drive link to get around the 71MB upload limit.

Sure! Can you walk me through how you got there? Or what the setting was that caused the issue?

It is a temporary fix.  There is something that obscures the model that probably causes by some add-in.  Also, when I un-crop the view and zoom extent it goes mad blank.

So thank you to everyone, you've all been helpful.
@ToanDN you led me to the solution. I'm not sure why those two little structural elements from my add-on were obscuring several views, but I simply deleted them and that solved the problem. I'll be on the lookout for erroneous studs in the future as well. 
Case closed.
