Revit 2021.1 - Realistic Style Model Display not working for New Construction phase

[micah]

Hello,

Revit 2021.1 - We are not able to accurately display Realistic Style Model Display for our elevation in the New Construction phase. Works fine with Existing Elevation, but we need Realistic for our Proposed Elevation. This is a remodel project with a new glass guardrail as the primary scope item. See images and link below. Thanks in advance.

Incorrect result:

Correct result below we are having trouble achieving. Previous drafter did not save the view with this setting and we cannot re-create it for the Proposed Elevation.

Phase Filter = Show Complete.

The previous "elevation" looks to be a 3D view in perspective.

Thanks @ToanDN, but we have tried all phase filters, show complete included. We normally have this view in Show Complete, but clicked through the other phase filters to trouble shoot and just happened to be in Show All for the snippet I posted.

Theses elevational views are actually elevations, not perspectives.

Not perspectives but perhaps 3D orthographic views.

Actually no, our are elevations with elevation view templates. Are you saying the drafter may have created the colored "elevation" by creating a 3d view in orthogonal? Are you saying that because you feel elevations will not work with Realistic style? If that is what you are suggesting, not true - we tested our Existing South Exterior Elevation and were able to get it to correctly display in Realistic Style. So why does this not want to work for our Proposed South Elevation where we actually need Realistic?

[RSomppi]

I'm saying it because it looks like a 3D view in perspective. It could be orthogonal with a couple of odd angles. That is all.

[micah]

Maybe because there are lots of angled elements to the building?

You put a lot of words in my mouth. 

[RSomppi]

Maybe, but without a plan view, I still think it is 3D view made to resemble an elevation. I don't know if has anything to with the graphics but it might be a clue. It just looks as though it is viewing the building from a slight angle.

Your phase filter settings was wrong.  Try this.
