Verify that the visibility of the object's category and subcategory are enabled.In the Visibility/Graphic Overrides dialog, try the following:.See Override Graphic Display of Element Categories. Model categories can have detail level set independent of the view's detail level. Verify the detail level for the category of the element.Check settings for the element or its category We have a crazy amount of content about Revit’s coordinate system.If you are still unable to locate the missing object, proceed through the following checklist to determine the source of the issue. In that case, the shared site origin would be too far away.ģ- The Spot Coordinates, Spot Elevation and Levels tools set to “Survey Point” don’t actually reference the Survey Point, they refer to the Shared Site Origin.Ĥ- Set the Shared Site Origin and Survey Point early on in the project. You can read more about issues when using geometry with large extents here: ġ- Don’t unclip and move your Survey Point.Ģ- Only exception to point #1 is if you are geo-referencing your Revit model with lat-long coordinates. That means the 20 miles bug is not a good reason to unclip and move the Survey Point. That means it won’t cause any bug if it is 20 miles away from your building in a view. The Survey Point isn’t considered as a geometric component. If you have a 20 miles large building, yes, you might run into some issues. But only when the actual geometry is super wide. It is true that there might be issues with larger views. In a case where the Shared Site Origin is 20 miles away from the building, some users think you should unclip and move the Survey Point to avoid weird issues. What If The Origin Is 20 Miles Away From My Building?Īnother frequent quip I hear from users is that it is bad practice to have views with super large extents, like 20 miles. The vast majority of projects probably don’t need to use the geo-referencing system. Then, pin the points and don’t ever move them again.

Regardless of the technique you choose to use, the position of the Survey Point and Shared Site Origin should be determined early in a project. Just properly teach your colleagues and you shouldn’t have that kind of issue in the first place.
