I started a project, I used the residential template. Started building walls (rough design phase). I click on East elevation.

The basement datum level line (the dashed line with the quartered circle at the end) does not show. I click on North elevation.

The basement (along with B.O., T.O.) datum level line shows.

My goal: Get the basement datum line (and all other hidden lines) to show on all elevations, sections.

How do I achieve this goal?

Many thanks, deeply appreciated.

In order for the level to show in a section or elevation ( column lines too), the datum must cross the clipping plane of the view.  Either they are rigt / left ... in which case just uncrop the view and drag them over, or if they may be beyond the view, find a perpindicular view and drag them over.

Sometimes the answer to an extremely frustrating problem is incredibly simple.

Just wanted to add one more thing to what you said. I could not work with the existing east elevation (even with trying to change the clipping plane, etc. So i just created a new elevation (View > Create > Elevation) to face the same way as the old East elevation,  and just deleted the old east elevation. So that is an alternative.... Many thanks anyways!!!
