I've created an attic access panel for use in residential and am not getting the results I was looking for and could use a little help. I created an opening in the ceiling plane, added a panel and frame and symbolic line that I wanted to show up on the floor. When I load it into a project I get the access panel but don't get the symbolic lines showing up on the floor like I wanted. Is this not possible. I've attached my access panel family for reference.
Thanks

The reason the symbolic lines don't show up is because the object (in this case attic access panel) is not passing through your view's cut plane. A simple work-around in these cases is to add an invisible model line from your object to the floor. This will cause the view's cut plane to recognize the attic access panel.

I am attaching an edited version of your family object. Hopefully it works!
