Hi,
I'm having trouble showing windows in my floorplan. See attached image. Only when I draw a box over them / highlight, do they show. If not I can see them. The other windows are showing up ok.
I1ve tried selecting course, medium or fine with no luck. The windows are on the same phase as the others that show also.
Thanks,
Tim.

They maybe too low or too high. Create a Plan Region (under View menu, Plan View, Plan Region) covering the area and change the cut plane for it to cut the windows.
If your view range is actually cutting the window, I got a couple of ideas why they are not showing...but those ideas are all ruled out because I don't see an cut opening. You have an opening cut made by the window, Right? You see through in 3D?
...Phasing could explain....but your view shows window tags. ?. Is Phase Filter set to SHOW ALL by chance?
Ha! It is easy....normally. Post your project for a looky-loo. Sure we'll figure it out in no time.

Guys,
Ok so you are saying its not the view range.
We're not saying that at all. We think it IS the view range. Have you tried adjusting it yet? If the windows show up at a higher view range, then use @ToanDN's approach to apply those settings to a specified region in the view, and then set your overall view range back to how you like it.
Thanks, Revit file attached. You can see which windows are not showing when you highlight everything.
I also want to show the sliding doors in the window schedule, is that possible?

Make your View Cut Plane higher and they all show up fine. Do you know how to do that? Edit "View Range" on the View Properties under "Extents" category.
...add if that works for you, don't forget that we work on solution credits here. wink, wink.
So @barthbradley solution would work, however all your windows that aren't showing are because the sill heights are all higher than 1200mm. Lifting the cut plane to 1500mm or higher would work. Keep in mind, if you get a window with a sill height higher than 1500mm, you will get the same problem, and then the view range cut goes higher...
Personally I don't like changing the view range as it can impact other things in your view and then you end up with a similar problem for another object.
In this instance, I would recommend @ToanDN suggestion. This is what the 'Plan Region' tool is for, altering view range in localised areas.
@Anonymous: The point of raising the cut plane, was to prove that this WAS a view range issue, just as @ToanDN and I were trying to explain to the OP throughout this thread. I never suggested he keep it that way. In fact I suggested the Model Line Method as an alternative to the Plan Region Method. This would probably be easier for the OP since he is doesn't quite yet understand the View Range .
