Walls are not visible in floor plan

[Anonymous]

I don't know what changes I made to the settings- now when I draw walls on the floor plan Revit displays a message "None of the created elements are visible in Floor Plan: Level 2 View. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings, as well as any Plan Regions and their settings."

I checked the Visibility/Graphic overrides, and the visibility of walls is on. Also I checked the floor plan property, still the visibility of walls is on. How to solve this problem? Can somebody help? Thanks a lot.

i've had this happen before when drawing soffit walls. the base offset of
the wall was above my cut plane. when you draw the wall click on properties
and check the settings.

If you have worksets enabled you might be drawing the walls in a workset
that is turned off.

1. Check your View Range settings.
2. Check the Base Constraint Level and Base Offset values in the Wall properties as they may be above the Cut Plane.
3. There is a possibily that the values of the Base Constraint and Base Offset are BELOW the current View Range.
4. The Wall type may be set to Foundation which uses Depth instead of Height and the Walls are below the View Range.

Anyway you cut it, I'd bet London to a brick it's a View Range issue.

I've just come across the same problem. No matter what view range I use the walls just don't show. I draw new walls, they don't show.
The work around I used:
Create a new level near the old level that is not showing up.
Relate all walls that were related to the old level, to the new level.
Delete old level.

There must be a bug in the program because I could find no reason why my walls weren't showing up. View settings, View Range, ect. Nothing worked but this.

Cheers!

not knowing anything about your model we would just be stabbing in the dark
here.
are the walls non-bearing and your view is set to structural?
are the walls on a workset that is not visible in the view?
is the wall category hidden - are you using 2008?

-go to properties and check Discipline, you might using another discipline it might be on structural... make it architectural

And your response is almost 6 1/2 years after the original question.  ???

Iam modeling a cold form steel building using PrescientDesign. and i couldn't draw any wall because of this message 

"None of the created elements are visible in Structural Plan: Level 2 View. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings, as well as any Plan Regions and their settings."

OMG... I had same issue: And that was he answer I was looking for. Thank you!

Hi,

It is happening simply for your discipline selection problem. You dont select your exact discipline. Go to properties and select your discipline as "Architecture". Then you will able to see the walls.

Thanks & regareds,

My similar issue was drawing walls on level one that were constrained to the roof level, i.e. they should show up on level two.  However, nothing showed up on level two as one would expect (even after checking all the suggested solutions posted here).  After some scientific trial and error, I discovered it was only happening in the "Construction" template that comes out of the box.  When I tried the "Architectural" template, it worked exactly as expected.  So I did a side-by-side comparison of the view properties between level two in Construction template and level two in Architectural template.  Everything matched up except for the very last setting: PHASE.

For some reason, the out-of-the-box template had level two (and the roof level for that matter) with a phase display of "B10 - Superstructure." When I changed this to "Project Completion," everything appeared exactly as it should.  To be fair, I'm quite new to Revit, and not sure what the difference is between these two templates...perhaps this setting is so for a reason, but it sure had me stumped.

Go to properties dialog box, click on graphic display option and look up style, scroll down and select it on wireframe and apply to make plan visible . I solved it this way.

sometimes e way i place my plan region also causes this problem. try removing the plan regions and see if e wall/walls show

[basakbc007]

i am doing a basement for a housing complex and i'm new to revit. the problem is somewhat similar. i created the columns on the gr. floor, made an assembly and copied and pasted in alignment with other levels. so my columns are showing in 3d and upper floors but not in basement level. also walls or anything i draw, nothing is showing in the basement level. (the drafted drawing is a linked dwg file of my plan)

please help if anyone knows.

sincerely,

thank you,

Cut a Section thru the model.

You should be able to see the "missing walls" and how far they extend below and above the ground floor level.

If they are not extending far enough, you can change their offsets up/down as needed.
