Okay, I have a Reflected Ceiling plan that is not displaying properly. Basically, the plan is set to hidden line view. Things that are supposed to be hiding elements are actually showing elements through them. For example, in the attached image, the lights are showing the ceiling when it should be hiding it. I checked the family, the 3D elements are displayed in plan/rcp, so I don't think it's a visibility issue.

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
Jer

I think we need a little more info.

There are several possibilities.
Are those both (the one that hides & the one that doesn't) the same family?
Same Type?
At the same elevation?

Hey there,
I am assuming that they are both the same light. I have run into this before. Try deleting it and then put it back by actually selecting the family, and then placing it. (Just like you did for the first one you place. Or, click on a good light and click the "create similar" button.)
For some reason, copying light fixtures sometime produces this weird behavior.

Hope this helps
Steve

Steve,
I'll give your suggestion a go and let you know what happens.
Dave, to answer your questions - the fixtures are all the same family, same type, etc. All I did in the image was get into Photoshop and erase the stuff showing through in order to show what we need. We are getting what the rest of the image looks like throughout the whole image.

Hope this makes sense...
