Change view settings to match user intent for elements that are not visible

[Anonymous]

Surely, if Revit knows not to display something, it knows how to make it visible, as intended?

So I want to Draw a line in a view, for instance, Select a style, Draw it - but am presented With a warning that it is not visible. Revit suggests checking 1) active view, or 2) its parameters, or 3) visibility settings, and 5) plan regions, as well as 6) plan region settings.

Aren't computers supposed to help us? We've all collectively probably spent years digging around view Controls trying to find that one toggle buried several Levels Down in some dialog...

It could possible violate a view template, and I might not want to change that, but at least tell me how to mitigate this issue and where that switch is located! Or perhaps display a macOS gatekeeper-like dialog that allows me to fix this ("Open Anyway"), and then I can deal With the consequences myself?

Why not "show all elements", select desired object and isolate it. Then start making other objects visible by type (or by other desired criteria).
