    Default Items hidden in wire frame and view depth in AutoCAD

    I'm using acadMEP 2015 and I'm having an issue with MEP objects being hidden or not displaying in certain views. Sometimes when I zoom in the pipes disappear from view, zoom out they reappear, sometimes a length of pipe wont be visible from the top view but it'll be visible in the isometric view. Everything is set to wire frame, I've got a mixture of solid objects and acad mvParts and pipe.

    Is this a system performance issue or a setting I need to change?

    I've been primarily using Revit for the last couple of years, I've only been using autoCAD recently. Is there a view depth now? I had drawn in some acad walls and lowered them below 0 in the z axis and it was hiding them in the top view... If I made them tall enough to go through 0 elevation they would become visible. I couldn't find a setting and any sort of search for view depth goes to Revit.

    Check the settings on your Display Configurations (Manage ribbon tab, Style & Display panel, Display Manager tool). In the Display Manager, in the left sash, expand the Configurations node under your current drawing. Select a configuration - the one in bold type is the current configuration in the active viewport. On the Cut Plane tab, there are settings for Display Above Range, Cut Height and Display Below Range. Perhaps your Cut Height and Display Below Range are set such that things below Z = 0 are out of range.
