Section line markers not showing

Hello all, 

 

I am having an issue on Revit LT 2021. I have a plan with 2 sections applied to it; 4 of which I have on one sheet, one above the other. 3 views are displaying the section line markers for the other sections, apart from one. I have check the visibility graphics and sections are marked as on; the lightbulb to the toolbar bottom left shows no hidden section lines; and the "hide at scales coarser than" is set to a high scale and the same as the other section views on the page. To my knowledge, all four section views on the page have the same settings. I have even checked the far clip offset to see if the view would be beyond the offset but that all seems grand. 

 

All the issues online point towards the "hide at scales coarser than" but this isnt my issue (i think). I ve attached a screenshot of my sheet and views.

 

Any help muchly appreciated, thank you

Check the Phase of the View. 

 

...Check through this list:

Unfortunately none of those apply. Theses exact same section lines are showing in the views on the same sheet with the same properties.

Maybe I misunderstood. Are you saying the Section Markers are just not showing on the Sheet, but they do show in the View itself?

No they don't show on the sheet or in the view. However they do show in other views which have the same properties

Okay. I find it hard to believe nothing in that list applies.  Is the View's Far Clip intersecting the Section Marker?  Set it to No Clip.  

 

...do those unseen Markers Reference other Views?

What does the plan view look like? make sure the extents of the sections extends to the wall elevation. as well as try "reveal hidden" just in case..

All the section markers are visible in the plan view, and I have checked all the extents to ensure they should be visible. Real hidden shows nothing

Number 27 would be the Far Clip I mentioned above - assuming those Section Markers are in front of the Section Marker that created that View.

I have checked all the extents of the far clip of both the section view where the markers are missing and the 6 markers that should be showing. nothing seems amiss

Have you checked the Cut Plane of the Marker creating the View?

All seems to be correct. The one thing maybe I mentioned that was incorrect was that the view is an elevation not a section, however the other views on the page are elevations as well and they are happily showing the section markers

That wouldn't change any of the above feedback.  Are these unseen Section Markers of the Type the reference another View?  I asked this above.  

 

...can you just post the file so we can dispense with the guessing?

If the section lines are not perpendicular to the elevation view then they will not show in that view.  Workaround, place sections on that view and reference the actual section views.
