Hi there.

We are currently using Revit 2012 on Windows 7.

I have put up a post previously about this issue but none of the responses were able to solve the problem.

I would like to show the section heads in my Roof Layout, however I cannot find them anywhere.

• They are not hidden
• They have no overrides applied to them
• They are currently showing up in all other floor plans except this one

I have researched this issue for approximately a year and still have not found a solution.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Do the sections cut through your roof level cut?

Create a new Roof plan from the view tab (un-check the do not duplicate box).  DON'T JUST COPY YOUR PLAN.  Do the sections show?

Make the scale of your plan larger (same scale as your floor plan), do they show now?

Make sure the '3D Extents' of the section physically crosses / cuts the roof level.

As per WW, Click on the section itself and check the property "Hide at Scales Larger than". Then compare that to the scale of the roof plan.

Researched for 1 year ? That's a really long time to fix a basic display problem such as this.

Typhoon - I have attached an image of our section head here.

WWHub - I tried what you suggested about the section cuts, etc, and they were all set at the correct levels. However when you mentioned about changing the scale to the same as the floor plan they did show up.

dgcad - Additionally to what WWHub was saying, it was the "Hide at Scales Larger than" which solved our problem.  Our floor plans, reflected ceiling, slab plans, etc were all set at 1:100, however our roof plan was 1:200. We were unaware of this setting in the properties box, so regardless, thankyou for making us aware of that.  We've learnt something which we can use in future projects.

Thanks.
