Property Lines Not Visible

[Anonymous]

Hi, I'm Working with Revit 2022, and have created a property line by entering the distances and bearings. Although once I click Ok it does not show up on the plan but something is there as it shows in the Properties.

The Site & Property Lines visibility is active in the view and it is not hidden in the hidden elements tab. 

I have attempted to sketch the property lines (which shows on the plan) and then converted them into table property lines but it just disappears again.

Thank you in advance for helping.

The Area shows 0m2 which is weird.  Try to enter the Distance in mm, for example: 34000 instead of 34.0

If you want to enter Distances in meters, then change Project's Length Unit to Meters.

How many first-timers have you helped this month?  I've lost count, but I know it's unbelievably high.

I don't pay attention at WHO asking questions, but the questions themselves.  Do you select certain types of users to help?  What are the criteria?

I also don't count but it seems like you are interested in being my counter so please do and report back periodically.

Geez! Pretty cranky there, @ToanDN. Take a nap. 

P.S. Nice catch on this one.  Area=0.  😉

This has not been resolved for me. It is not as simple as unhiding things. Watch my screenshot video.

What are the distances and units of those lines? A couple look VERY long, you might be running into an extents display situation where when you zoom all you are too far away for the model to show up. Similar to what happens with a DWG link whose extents are too large.

I think I may have got to the bottom of this and its to do with Revit templates:
Your comment about the size of the dimension prompted me to look at that deeper. Earlier today I created a new template that had no geometry in it whatsoever. On loading this for a new project, the Project origins, Project Base Point and Survey Point only display on the "Floor Plan", at the uppermost top left of the canvas almost completely off the canvas and the extents of the drawing were almost infinitely large. The drawing could not be re-positioned in any way, showing that the maximum extents had been reached. I then zoomed in to the top left corner (It took a lot of zooming) until I was able to draw a suitable wall. Immediately the drawing canvas became moveable so that I could centre up the drawing origin etc on the page. I saved this as a template. On loading this I was able to enter in site boundary data as normal.
The lesson being: don't make Revit templates with no geometry in them.
