Beam not visible on floor plan

[sifuentes]

Hi, I modeled a beam family tha is C shaped, so the top horizontal part is flush with the floor slab, but the beams are not showing on floor plan views. I used the the template: Structural Framing - Beams and Braces.rft.

Thanks,

Maybe it "buried" in the floor ? That sometimes happens when you place structural beams from a floor level view.

Go to a 3D view and select the beam from the browser to see where it is located, then adjust its elevation if necessary.

It is actually flush with the floor, as you can see in the attached clip of a section, and the floor doesn't go over the beam, it attaches to the side.

So it sound like a visibility or possibly a phase issue ?

Or it is outside of view visibility range that does not show anything below level.

I just had this same problem. If you add a floor joist, for instance, in the first floor framing level you will not see it. The default view range doesn't show anything below the floor. I made the view depth a negative (-4'-0") and everything showed up.

I forgot to mention that I am using the default residential template that ships with Revit.

As simple as that; view range. I would have tought that since floors flush with level heights show on floor plan views, anything flush would show.

Thanks to every one,

Nope! You will find the same problem with foundation walls. You need to drop the bottom offset value a little, not too for or you may start to see stuff in the level below.
