Cannot select beam in 2d view but can select in 3D view

[Anonymous]

I am new to revit.

I cannot select beam in 2d view but can select in 3d view.

In 2d view, the beam colour is light gray and unselectable.

Here are the screenshots

THANK YOU! I know this is an old post but your response finally ended my growing headache I was having over this.  It was really driving  me nuts. All I wanted was to change the angle of my beam system to 45 degrees to create roof rafters which was a 2 second task but could NOT do it because I could not select them. Now I can. so thanks!

sorry that was supposed to be a reply to Sahay_R . Not sure why it didn't tag her since I clicked reply directly underneath her suggested solution.
