Walls not showing

[kjskoog]

This is a puzzle to me but probably an easy fix. I created a stair tower using (4) walls. Base Constraint is First Floor, Top Constraint is Roof Brg for all walls. 2 of the walls do not show on first floor view. There is topo that is hidden. I thought that was the issue so I erased them by category. To no avail, the two walls are still not showing. Sections and elevations they are there. Any other ares I should look into? I attached a snipped image.

Thank you

Since your description was detailed I would assume you went into 3D and verified the walls do go down to the first floor.  I ask because sometimes it happens that the vase of the wall was attached to a floor so it's properties displays level 1 yet is attached above.  Otherwise I would look to see if there are filters associated to the view.

I got it to work. The walls were created in the second floor view. I erased the two walls in question. Created them in the first floor view and they all show correctly. Question is now, why two walls show and two do not when creating them in a different view then the Base Constraint of the wall?

Yes, I did look in section, elevation and 3D view and the walls were shown. 

Thanks for the reply.

There are several reasons why creating in one view may cause the wall not to display in others.  The two usual suspects to me are phase and/or discipline.  If two of the walls were non structural walls then they will disappear in a view who's discipline is set to structural.  If the wall was created in a view who's phase was set to one different of another view then the wall will pick up on that phase and depending on the phase filters in other views they may not display.  There are over 50 reasons on why elements may not be visible in a view so narrowing it down can be difficult.
