Hi all!

I have an interesting problem. I've been working on building the structure of a building with grid lines, columns, and beams. It was all going well until today I noticed that one beam was "missing". Its actually there, I can highlight it, but I can't view it in any view. I've checked all the vvisibility/graphics settings, the view range, everything. It's only one beam and not all the rest. I even tried deleting that beam and redrawing it, which works, but then it "disappears" until I hover over it with my mouse and select it. I have a feeling it's just that location but that doesn't make sense. Help?

Try a new view, not a copied view.

Are you sure there is no object in font of it?

Place a similar beam, same family & size, in another location.  What happens?

Tried all that, not successful.

There is definitely no object in front of it because I can't see it in any view.

When I move the beam over just a little bit to either the left or right, once it passes the columns, it appears. Placing the same beam family and size in ANY other location works. I tried deleting the columns and putting them in again and one of them works with the beam still appearing there. However, when I put the other column in, the beam automatically "disappears".
