I'm still fairly new to Revit, so I might be missing something pretty obvious here.

I do electrical design and I am placing duplex and quadruplex receptacles in my plan. If I switch to fine detail level, my quads go away. In medium or coarse, they are there.

This is an issue because we show all of our piping/conduit in double line which needs the fine detail level on to see.

Is there a reason why the quad receptacles would disappear in fine and not the duplex?

I forgot to add that these are not customized objects. These are from the "out of the box" revit library, so that's not something that might have caused it.

YES__

 

Open the family / edit the family >> select the linework that is not showing up in 'fine detail' >> right-click >> Element Properties... >> Click "Edit" @ Visibility/Graphics Overrides >> Adjust accordingly.

The rules for when to use the medium / fine switch has not really been established for most families.  It doesn't make a difference for walls/floors but it can be set in families.  Most family builders treat them the same but it appears that you have found a unique one.  Edit the quad family and I am sure you will find it is switched off in fine visibility.  Edit that.
