Revits compound ceiling wont show as existing - issue with phasing visibility

Ceiling is being complete for an as built project, all the ceiling and lights should be set. and appear on the existing phase. Portions of ceiling grid in my RCP will not show up as existing. The grid and troffer lights are all set to existing layer however it still appears as thick black lines. As seen in the snip some of the ceiling has the appropriate look for the existing phase and some does not.

Share a screenshot showing the phasing properties of the ceiling and a screenshot showing the phasing properties of the view.

Seems to be glitching out when I change the phase to existing. even though the lights are set to existing they seem to have dissapeared!

The view's phasing is incorrect.

Phase status should be New Construction, Phase Filter = Show Previous.

 

You actually need not to change the phasing for your ceilings and light fixtures, just add a new phase after the latest phase and set the view's phase status to that phase, phase filter = show previous + new.

Hi @ToanDN . Yes I changed it to existing as an example to show that it is not working. Phase status is always set to new construction (show previous + new). Everything is set to the correct phase so that is not the issue. Most of my ceilings appear greyed out and it is only certain ceilings that are stuck as black lines so the view is not the problem! I am using multiple different ceiling grids since the ceiling in the building does not line up all together. Maybe that has something to do with it?
