Hi everyone,
i'm having some problems with a window that i take from the revit library. I don't understand why it doesn't showing materials/colours that i have assigned to every component of the window in the plan view. I can see them in section in elevation or in 3d view but not in the plan view.
The only thing that i noticed is that the window has every component nested. Can someone help me to understand why?
The Window Geometry isn't Visible in Plan/RCP View. What you are seeing in Plan View is Symbolic Linework and Masking Region.
...actually, the Plan View is showing a Detail Item Family. Again, the geometry is not visible in Plan/RCP.
depending on the family your using, it may be a Nested Family used to display only linework and mask out the model content. you can edit the family as @barthbradley shows above and remove the nested family, but you will likely loose your swings.
the image on the left is the family where i moved the nested family. the image on the right is the same window in a wall. you will possibly need to select each element in the family and change the Visibility settings to display in Plan view as well.
