Hello everybody, I've got project with several "split" levels I'd like to show on one plan. Best see section - attached file stair-planregion_problem_section.jpg. Floor plan I want to show is on level AB_PP2, higher level is CD_PP2, which I'm showing via plan region.

I've set plan region showing higher level in a way I want. But I've problems showing stairs - upper flight leading from level CD_PP2 to level CD_PP1_B dissapears, lower leading from level AB_PP2 to CD_PP2 shows break line and steps in overhead line style. As if it is ignoring the plan region. Stairs are two separate objects because I need to control the height position of the "landing" to be on level CD_PP2. When creating floor plan view of the higher level - CD_PP2 with exactly same view range settings as the plan region placed in the lower level, stairs show ok, but not in the lower floor level plan AB_PP2 via plan region. Hope attached images will explain it better. I wouldn't mind if some up arrowheads would show up either But..., don't know if this is achievable due to different drawing convention. It would be ok for me if each stair flight just show with arrowhead where the top of the stair is. The in section image hightlighted flight "Up arrow" check box is on and nothing is showed in neither of levels AB_PP2 or CDPP2.

Revit file can be found here: http://home.tiscali.cz/stafek/tmp/S...PLAN_REGION.zip

I even tried it the other way - on floor plan level AB_PP2 I've set up view range better suitable for level CD_PP2, and the actual level AB_PP2 is shown via plan region. It is better in a way that the flight from CD_PP2 level to CD_PP1_B actually appears, but the lower flight again has the breakline, this time without overhead style risers though. But the break-line is not selectable via Linework tool, so I can't simple obscure it at least. Seems to me there is a bug here. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks for any hint - I just feel shy wanting to draw it with detail lines

 Best regards Frantisek Stafek.
