Good Morning!

I have two separate area plans, one of which has everything showing up correctly (plan A). To save time I created a view template from plan A and applied it to the plan B. Now when I go to annotate plan B- wall tags in particular- I get the following error message:

None of the created elements are visible in Area Plan (Rentable): WET SEAL- K COPY View. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings, as well as any Plan Regions and their settings.

I don't understand- the visibility should be the same as plan A, since a view template is applied, correct? The wall tags are showing in plan A but I cannot get them to work in plan B.

Any help is appreciated!

This is a process error somewhere. 

1. Did you check VG for this view first?  OBVIOUS FIRST PROCESS BEFORE ASKING HERE
2. View templates can be created that only control portions of the view.   Check what the template controls.

Yes, as far as I can tell all of the VG match plan B to plan A. (To guarantee this I created the view template from plan A and applied it to plan B. I was under the impression it would then be exactly the same- I haven't made any changes to that view template.) And all features are included in the view template- is this what you mean by what it can control?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the function of view templates.

No, it sounds like you understand the view template use.  BUT - You didn't check the VG settings.   What do you need to tag a wall?

1. You need a wall.  Are walls on and are they in your view?  NOT an underlay!
2. Under VG annotations, wall tags have to be on - are they?
3. Does your view cut plane actually cut the wall?  If the wall is below the view cut, the wall will not tag.
4. Do you have any filters applied?
5. Are the walls individually hidden in view?
