Can’t see Elements in Revit?

by Garry Stockton

Top 10 reasons you can't see an Element in Revit

• Is the correct Workset being used?
• Is the view range set correctly to see the element required?
• Is the object hosted on an incorrect surface like a floor instead of a ceiling?
• Is there a filter applied to the view that is causing the element to be hidden?
• Is the detail level of the view set correctly? Some families are set not to show at Coarse.
• Try using the "Reveal Hidden Elements" tool in the view control bar.
• Is there a plan region in the view?
• Is the view "Discipline" set correctly?
• Is the element in the correct phase and is an appropriate phase filter set in the view to make it visible?
• Is the element part of a design option and perhaps that isn't the current option for that particular view?
