Why is Revit only saving two walls/lines of my floor plan?

Dear recipient,

Yesterday I inserted a CAD plan and traced over it in Revit and this morning the floor plan has disappeared with only 2 walls and the North and South elevations still showing. When I click on the plan level i.e. level 0 it just comes up with the imported CAD file and the two walls. I have also tried getting the floor plan back by clicking view->plan views->floor plans->level 0 which unfortunately gave the same result. I tried re-drawing it on its own and the same thing happened again after saving it, closing it down and opening it up again only two walls appeared. I was also saving it at interval stages while I was drawing it so I don't understand why it's not there anymore. Do you know if there is a simple fix it or to retrieve it? Or does anyone know why this is happening?

 

Kind regards,

Rebecca

Check the walls on the 3D view if they are still there otherwise if the file  is not that confidential ... upload the revit file

Hi there, the only thing under VG-> imported files is Imports in Families which is ticked?

Hi there, In 3D view the only thing showing is two lines? I'm not sure what's going on but I have attached the Revit file. Thanks

.those lines are actually 3 walls but they are roughly 5000 KM long (Image 1) which makes it quite impossible to zoom in enough to see the building you were modeling ... if you delete the 3 5km walls and zoom extent u will see your work is still there (Image 2)
