Hello,

I am a first-time poster and using Revit Architecture 2013.  I'm having an issue placing a detail section on a sheet next to the plan it was created in.  As soon as I place the view, the section line disappears.  However, if I place the view on a different sheet, it does not disappear.

Three images attached:

-Before placing view

-After placing view on same sheet (section line disappears)

-After placing view on different sheet (section line shows just fine)

I'm stumped, please let me know if you hav any idea how I can get that section line to stay. Thanks!

All three of your updates are installed - right????

If you don't know then look under the question mark drop down - about.

I just checked it out and I have no problems with this in my 2013. 

SOmething else going on here.  It may be a video card issue - How does it print?

I just revisited this problem again today.  I'm convinced that it's a problem with some property of the sheet.  It is currently on a "DA" sheet and it actually works fine if I change the sheet prefix to anything that doesn't start with D.  For example, if I change the "DA" to "AD" it's fine.  Are there any sheet properties that are somehow controlled by the sheet name??

If not, I'll just figure out a way to fake it :/

There is no sheet property that would do this but we do occassionaly see corrupted sheet.  Delete that sheet and create a new one and place the views on that.  Audit your file.
