locating objects in "visibility/graphics"

[Michelle Gibson]

I am trying to find out why I cannot see some of my objects on my "rentable" plan that are on my floor plan - such as a stacked washer/dryer. I have gone into the visibility/graphics for each drawing and cannot seem to find where these objects would reside so that I can check if they are turned on or off. Where do I find these if they are not under furniture or special equipment?

thanks again !

Have you checked the phasing of the objects?

[Michelle Gibson]

yes - I know it's something really obvious but...

What about your cut plane?

Workset visibility ? another option

... And view discipline.

Here would be my suggestion:

Duplicate (with details) the view in question.
In View Properties, set Discipline to "Coordination". Set Phasing to "All". Set view region to -100 and +100.

If this gets the objects to show up, good, now you can isolate which of those settings did it.

Now set detail level to "Fine", and view type to "Wireframe"

Now go to visibility graphics and turn every category on:
Check "Show options from all disciplines" near the bottom of the window
Select all the items: Click the first item in VG; Shift-Click the last item.
Then click one check box to on; all of them will also toggle on.

If these steps still did not make the objects show up, my final suggestion is to go into the family and examine the Visibility settings for the family overall, as well as each individual object. They may be toggled not to show up in "Top" views.

Hope this helps.
