RCP

[Anonymous]

Hi All, have an issue with a reflected ceiling plan i have spent so much time trying to solve hope you can help. My RCP has a compound ceiling, it is hidden from view and i cannot unhide as the unhide option is grayed out. Underlay is set to RCP, ceilings are turned on and transperancy set to zero.

Any help will be appreciated

Cut a section and check the height of the compound ceiling, then check if you view range look far enough to see it.  Also, why do you need the Underlay that set to RCP?  What are you trying to see from it?  Normaly the underlay of a RCP is to show floor plan items, so it is set to Plan (looking down).

Hi Toan, it is my ground floor ceiling plan, ceiling height is 3500, top prim range set to Level Above ceiling (ground floor ceiling) with top offset of 3700.

View depth unlimited,  underlay changed to ground floor and is set to looking down still cannot unhide. Assume it something in visability or view range but cannot figure it out, thanks

@Anonymous Hello, is your file is a workshared file? Are you working alone on the project or with other user's. If you are working alone > open the file > tick detach from central > discard worksets > and save. Try again the unhide element and see if helps. Thanks

I have uploaded just now the file as separate folder to share with you, i am working alone you will have it in 1 minute

@Anonymous hello mate, please see attached is this you wanted it to be ceiling lines? thanks

[Anonymous]

Yes Junne, thats it, but what did you change to make these ceiling materials appear? Many thanks

@Anonymous hello, just a standard procedure in revit > click the bulb > select the boundary of your ceiling line > unhide element. thanks

Thank you so much, Junne, was not aware that can only select ceilings on boundary, so simple if you know how!!, appreciate it
