Objects not showing in front of other objects in elevation

I am having an issue where a faucet placed on a lavatory with a backsplash shows up properly in plan and 3D, but it shows up behind the backsplash in elevation. I can't find a way to fix this and would not like to have to resort to manually drawing the faucet with masking regions. Screenshots attached.

Have a look at the family and see how it is built.

Is there a masking region in the "front/back" elevations?

Are the 3D elements visible in those views.

Is the sink a DWG (or other CAD import) inside the Revit family?

 

If it is face-based then front/back will be the plan/ceiling views. Also make sure your view's cut plane is in front of them, not cutting through the sink for example.

The old school method of using masking region will hide anything if you placed an independent faucet. One way to overcome this is to place the faucet into the lavatory family and draw the faucet there. If you don't want that, then you would remove the masking region in the lavatory family and use the 3d object to be your representation for the elevation.

Post your RVT File containing the Faucet Family.

These are the families I'm using - both were downloaded directly from Kohler.

 

@syman2000 I am not using a masking region. What is shown in the screenshots I originally posted is the representation of the 3D elements, but there is something causing the sink to show as if it is entirely in front of the faucet.

 

I confirmed that the elevation cut line is in front of the entire sink / faucet assembly prior to coming to the forum, so that's not the issue. I assume there's some visibility setting with the lavatory family, but I'm still gathering my bearings with using Revit in this capacity.

Well, I spent a few hours away from it, and another mention of masking regions made me check the lavatory family. Lo and behold, the family within the family had a masking region drawn in the foreground of the elevation view. I unchecked "Draw in foreground," and it shows up properly in elevation now. Thanks for the extra brainpower!

EDIT: haha....looks like you figure it out. Same solution as your.

 

I looked at it and it has nested family with masking region. However you can check off Draw in foreground.

Once you do that, it will show up correctly

Well I'm glad your solution was the same as mine - it shows I'm figuring something out, haha.

Edit the nested family (K-12643) in the sink family and delete or turn the Masking region on the elevation view to Invisible, set all 3D components to visible for Front/Back and Left/Right view directions.
