Railings Disappear

I'm working on a file that originated from someone else and am adding a railing on a slab that is 3'-0" above Level 1. The elevated slab is within the view range. The railing appears as expected when I draw it on Level 1, but it disappears in plan view when I give the rail a base offset of 3'-0". It appears correctly in 3D with the offset, and when I hover over where the railing is in plan view, it highlights only, but doesn't display Any clues why this would be happening? I checked phasing already.

I can see how that is possible.  Default visibility for Balusters is not visible in Plan/RCP.  So if you had no Top Rail, you wouldn't see anything in Plan.  

 

Bottom line, check the Visibility Setting in the Family.  

 

...have you checked that all the Subcategories under Railing Category are turned on?

Raise the cut plane (of the view or a plan region) to slightly above the railing.

Do you have this list of 33, @PhilvK?

Changing the cut plane didn't affect it. Can you and @barthbradley take a look at the attached example. The areas circled below is where the problem is.

I can get the railing to show via a Plan Region.

What are you changing in the region?

I didn't fine-tune it, but this is the settings of the Plan Region in that screenshot above:

I think it's a combination of the view range and what you said in the earlier post about the visibility settings. Thank you !

No.  It is just the view range.  I did not change any Visibility, only raise the cut plane as I said before you even posted you file.  And it shows.

You are right sir, my mistake.  What I meant earlier was that it doesn't seem to work when the cut plan is within the limits of the railing. Why's that?

Because you did not raise the cut plane high enough to be above the railing. When the cut plane is lower thann the top rail and your railing don't have any other rails, plus the balusters are not shown on plan, then you have nothing to see
