Hello,

I cant see windows on the plan section of my building model for some reason. I have tried changing the view to architectural view but to no avail. This is the message I get. 

"None of the created elements are visible in Structural Plan: L4 GF Level7 View. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings, as well as any Plan Regions and their settings."

This happened before with walls but when I changed to architectural view the walls appeared.

HELP!!!!

visibility graphics overrides, ensure that your windows category is checked...

I can't open your upload for some reason, but the next place to check if they aren't showing up, is in the view depth, what height are you cutting at, vs what height are the windows at?  If the windows are at say 4'6" then you won't see them at the default 4'-0" cut.  So raise your cut such that it definitely goes through the windows.  If you do this, and they still don't show up (at this point though, you would probably just see the opening for them), then you'll probably have to either change the quality of the display (from coarse to fine, etc.) or open up the family and make sure that it has anything which should show up in plan view at the given graphic resolution.  This can be done by clicking on any part of the window in the family editor, then clicking on the visibility settings command, and ensuring that it is visible...

and how are you placing the windows?  copy monitor, or through an actual family?
