Just upgraded to REVIT 2013. The only issue i've found is some of my projects in 2012, have the stairs and railings showing through the floors/walls in revit 2013. I double checked all the visibility settings, etc. 

My workaround was to just recreate the stairs using REVIT 2013's new stair tools. (which are pretty great.) Since I already had the stair type, it was only a few minutes work and it solved the stair visibility problem.

The ralinings are still showing through the walls, and such, but I just hid them for my project. Don't know if that will work in the next project. 

 

Anyone else had this happen to them?

Railings showing through the walls in plan view and or 3d view ? If they are in the 'cut plane' then they will show up. Showing through a wall in a 3d view is something different altogether. Yes, screen shot please.

Having a similar issue with slabs showing through walls in the 3d view regardless of transparency settings. The steel beams do not show through, so I would think it was a material-related issue, but I can't find it. Attached is a screenshot. Have tried overriding the slab, the walls, the materials used for each, all to no avail. Really makes it more difficult to quickly check the 3d view looking for anything out of place when stuff that should be hidden isn't....

Are all these 'showing through' problems REVIT 2013 ?? I'm still officially using 2012 in production work.

Please tell us your view settings - especially discipline. 

Are the walls architectural or structural?

as requested. screen shots attached. 

1 - the 2nd floor. Two sets of stairs are showing here on top of each other, you can see it in the "up text" at the top of the image, and in the double break line. 

2- the 3rd floor, this is really obvious, as we have the stairs showing through the floor of the roof access room. 

3- this was another error i found. two of my modeled in place famillies decided to move themselves some 30' off of the wall they were on. I had to go back in and reset the workplane to the wall face in order to fix this. Unfortunately this happened after we had already signed, sealed and sent out for prints. 

4- The fixed stairs in 2013. Like i said before all i did was recreate them. No visibility or material changes. Problem solved....Except for the railings. (but i just hid those as I called them out in another part of the project. not the way i like to work, but oh well. )

These kind of problems are why we never upgrade a project that has most of the CD work already done.  It is just too hard to find any glitches that may have happened.  We had a large project done in 2008 Revit and was constructed after 2010 came out and we were using that for new work.

 

So my recommendation is to only upgrade a project when there will be a real advantage.

Revit Structure2013. Discipline is set to structural, walls are structural 8" masonry exterior bearing walls, floor is a structural floor (3"conc on 1" deck). Visual Style is Realistic. If I go to Graphic Display options and enable Photographic Exposure, the walls soldify appropriately. Never had to do anything with that before. I guess that's the new way in 2013??

WWHUB, the architect on our job decided to use 2013, so we didn't have any choice on moving up to the new version ;-)

I could have waited. I'll lock that idea in the back of my mind.

I have a problem like you too. I'm using Revit Architect 2011. In my situation, stair and railing below the floor in still visible. I can't hide the part of stairs and railing below the floor. If I hide it, I can't see stair and railing extent the floor. So does anybody give me a help?

Turn on your floor in VG if that doesn't fix it;

... turn on the lightbulb and make sure your floor is not hidden

Are you using an underlay in the view ?

I had tried many times with VG but they still doesn't work. The floor isn't hidden. The Underlay is only show visible/invisible with only opaque things in plan, so it doesn't affect stairs and rallings. 

I don't believe much with Revit's VG. Just see through my baluster and railings, there're two different results with the same VG setting
