Working with door families - missing parts

hello! this might be a basic question but I'm new to editing families in Revit. If I click on a door with a panel attached to it in the model, and edit the family, why does the panel not show? how might the  family be constructed that I can edit it? see images below:

 

(within model, panel is showing)

within family editor, panel is not showing

Switch to a different type in the family.

Might want to close the door family and edit it again from the project to make sure you have the correct family.

Maybe you broke it. Not kidding.  What do you do after you clicked on "Edit Family"?

Edit family takes me directly into the family and it just looks like this..no sign of the sidelite. If I close it out, evverything looks fine in the model. Was happening to my colleague as well.

Sounds like a Detail Level thing.  Have you looked at Coarse, Medium and Fine representations? You can change via the geometry's Visibility Settings if you want.

...or it could be a shared, nested condition and you TAB-Selected on the nested one in the Project and hit Edit Family.

so the door could be a nested family that is shared into the main family. Can you select the entire panel and edit it? When you selected the door did you need to tab to select just the door? Families can be created and then loaded (also known as nested) into other families as shared which allows you to also tab, select the nested family within the Revit model.

You can always post the file here for us to examine and tell you exactly - instead of guess. :zwinkerndes_Gesicht:

So, I guessed correctly. TAB-Selecting was the culprit.  Exactly what I told you above.

Oh, I see. @shir_rustici also mentioned it moments later. I guess great minds think alike.  :zwinkerndes_Gesicht:
