Revit Family not shown in 3D view

I am having difficulty getting a revit furniture piece to show in the 3D view when I import it into my project.  I have found this issue with a lot of Knoll furniture families.  When I download and open the family, there is a large mass in the 3D view I'm assuming to give solidity to the furniture piece.  I am able to delete that so the furniture piece is actually framed and visible how it should be.  I am able to apply materials and such when editing the family and the chair (I'm working with the Barcelona Chair) is visible in its entirety in the 3D view in the family.  When I load this family into my project, the chair is not seen in the 3D view.  I have tried the visibility graphics and it says all of the furniture is on, I have tried reveal hidden elements and that does not work either.  The chair simply disappears when I roll onto the 3D view there is nothing to select or click on it completely does not show.  I also tried this leaving the large mass in place which I referenced before, but the same issue occurs.  I am unable to troubleshoot this issue and am looking for help and suggestions.  I would really like to use the true Barcelona chair family from the Knoll website, which is why I'm so adamant about fixing this file instead of downloading a knock off file.  Thank you for the help and consideration in advance.

1) You have this tag on the chair that says BARCELONA. Apply a yes/no Visibility parameter on it when you edit the family. After you have loaded the chair into a project, turn the visibility off.

 

2) In 3D view make sure that you are in Fine detail level. Medium and Coarse will show only a big box.

The chair will show up fine.

You changed the View to Fine and the chair still not shows?

 

What is the Phase of the 3D View?  Make sure the 3D view is not under Existing phase if your chair was placed under New Construction phase.

Make sure the Furniture category is visible.

 

Edit:  I just opened the family and it should still show in Coarse scale, just in a more primitive form.  So your problem is not that.  Check phase, phase filter, workset, visibility/graphic overrides.

Open the family. Go the a plan view Zoom in close. You will see a tag that says BARCELONA. That is also creating trouble for you - when you inset the chair in your project the tag grows so big that it hides the chair under it.

 

In the family, first of all delete that mass that is wrapping around the chair

 

Then go into Family Types (Create tab >> Properties Group)

Create a new Parameter. Call it Tag Visibility.

Save. Load your Chair into your Project. 

 

Go to a plan view. You will only see the word BARCELONA. Click on it and go into its properties. Uncheck the box for Visibility and Apply. Go to a 3D view. Change Detail (at the bottom left hand corner of your screen) to Fine. Your chair will show up fine.
