I am working my way through the book; "Residential Design Using Revit Architecture 2008, by Stine and have hit a problem while trying to create an in-place family for a entry roof.

Following the lesson I have created the extruded shape, associated it with a reference plane, and assigned materials. When I finish the family it is not visible in any of my views. When I mouse over its location the geometry shows up, but when I click on it only the modification handles are visible.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? If this is how a typical entry overhang or porch cover is created it is very important for me to figure this out.

Thanks

Sounds like your Cut Plane is too low? ie in a plan view, Revit is cutting your model BELOW the family you created.

 Does it appear OK in a 3D view?

No, it does not show in 3D view, or elevations.

coreed, your reply is interesting, but I am afraid that I don't know what to do in order to check it out or fix the problem. Can you give me some more information?

Thanks
