Levels show in elevation but not section - solution?

[bwilliams133]

My levels are showing up in my elevation views but not in any of my building or wall sections. I've searched around forums and found various probable culprits, but nothing has worked. Here's what I've tried:
Checked Worksets to make sure my levels are visible in each view - yep.
Checked VG to make sure they are visible - yep.
Turned off my clipping boxes and zoomed all/zoomed extents to see if they were out in space - no they weren't.
Checked my levels in my elevations to make sure they were 3D, not just 2D - they are.
Pulled my wall section view extent through the whole building, just to double check - they didn't show up.
Looked at my sections in coarse and fine view - they are in neither.
My wall sections are at 3/4" scale, I played with the "hide at scales coarser than..." - still nothing.

We will want to reference certain levels in our wall section such as finished floor elevation, top of steel etc...I've worked at several different firms, this is something that has been a part of every set I've worked on, so this can't be something we only do here at my current firm.

Any other suggestions? I'm not a revit expert, so even if you think it's a simple thing I should know about, if it's not on the list above, please suggest it and I'll give it a shot. Thank you.

I also turned the "hide in view" on and off and they are not hidden in any of the views.

The Level must actually enter the boundary box for the Section or Elevation in order to show up in it. Go to a perpendicular Elevation View that shows all of the Levels and adjust the ends of the Level lines as required. See image.

In my elevations, the level lines were short as you illustrated above with Level 2, so when I pulled them all the way across my building, then went back to my wall section, unchecked my crop view, there they were all on the right side. I wanted them left, so I pulled them over. So that seems to be the issue, but it unfortunately created another one...

Now in order to get my levels to show up, I need to have my level lines drawn all the way across my building elevations. Having dashed lines across an elevation is not ideal as they will easily be confused with something during construction. We like to have our level lines stop short of the building edge. It's possible I'm remembering this incorrectly, but it seems like I was able to do this successfully in Revit previously. Again, maybe I'm remembering wrong!

Ah -ha! I got it. It's been a while since I had to deal with this in Revit as we just recently bought revit at my current employer. For anyone who might follow this thread in the future - it's "2D" vs "3D". Once I have my level line in "3D" pulled all the way across my building (section/elevation), then I click on the end of the line, toggle the 2d/3d button til it reads 2d, then pull that end to wherever I'd like it to be so that my drawing looks how I want it. 2D is how the line actually looks on the paper, 3D is what the level plane is actually doing in the building model.

Thanks for that..now it makes sense
