I have one room that I'm trying to render and nothing I do will render it without the ceiling turning out black. All other materials seems to be working fine...it's just the ceiling that will not illuminate. Here are some things I've tried to fix it:

 

- check to make sure material will illuminate (the assigned material works fine in other views)

- make sure the light isn't being cut by the ceiling (this is a surface mounted light that works in other views)

- create a view template from a working rendering and apply to this view

- change ceiling type to one I know that works, still no luck

- check that rendering settings are "interior: sun and artificial" and that grouped lights are turned on

- check to make sure light is not blocked by component in family (again, these lights work fine in other views)

- change light source definition 

- make sure "emit shape visible in rendering" is checked

- check to make sure ceiling is phased correctly

- ceiling is checked and there are no overrides in 'visibility graphics'

 

I've attached the rendering for reference. I feel like I've tried everything...please help! Thanks!

Is the ceiling material set to black??  Is the ceiling actually there?

Yes the ceiling is there and the material is set to a material that works in fine other views.

 

Also I've tried shooting a new view in this room as well as making sure the cameras aren't inside a door/wall with no luck.

Has this issue been resolved? I am having a very similar problem only thatin my case the ceiling does appear properly in a previously generated view but doesn't in any new view or if I move the existing view in anyway.

Sorry but I doubt very much that there is a Revit issue here, it is a 99.9% chance that it is a process issue. 

The only possible Revit issue is if you didn't install all of your updates for version ????  I doubt it is 2014.  ALWAYS state your Revit issue .
