Railing not showing up

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Feb 2018 19:53:47 GMT

I'm trying to put a railing on a deck but the deck is 3" below the first floor level. When I put the railing on the deck (associative or not associative) it disappears. I can still select it, but it won't show up on my drawings. It will however show up when I put the railing at 0" above first floor, but I want it attached to the deck, not floating above it.

Can you post a screenshot that shows the settings in the Floor Plan Symbol Layout panel of Railing Settings Dialog?

Since yesterday I'm getting the same problem. I cannot draw any railing. Better, I can draw the railing but when I finish it, it desappears.
I started this new project using the settings of the latest (working) opened project file.

Hi.
Probably due to the elevation below its home storey. Read this thread and see if the same applies to the railing.

Best regards.

I think I figured it out.
When you place the Railing a certain distance below the current Story (which is its Home Story), then its Reference Line will be in One Story Lower, and since it is fully in the vertical range of that Story, that Story will be its Relevant Story. So its Home Story will be an "Above Relevant Story". So in the Floor Plan Display Layouts fields you need to set a different option for the "Above Relevant Story" field because currently it is set for the below break Mark portion of the Railing to be hidden. The best options would probably be the "No Break Mark: Visible" option.
There is a clip that talks about these settings of the Railing:

Thanks
I'll give it a try and check those settings.
It means that in 3D view I should view it at least ... and that's the problem. I don't see it even starting modeling in 3D.

Bump. I have this exact problem at the moment. Looking for eventual causes and solutions. Any luck?

So, you don't see it in 3D or in plan?
For 2d you have to mangle with its display settings as already described in this thread, and also have a look into your MVO.

Not being able to see it in 3D can have different reasons:
For one you might have migrated the project. If you migrate projects, and there are new tools, they will be deselected in the "Filter elements in 3D" menu (right click on the 3D view in the organisator).
