No it hasn't disappeared.
You had double posted the same thing in different forums, so I deleted one.
I may have moved the other as well.

I will leave this post and delete the other duplicate now - it has had no replies.

Actually you have double posted a couple of different post - just once in the correct section of the forum is enough please.
Save me some work.

Barry.

The beams are probably placed in the GF.
They are above your Floor Plan Cut Plane so they appear with the overhead lines style you have set for them.
So they may be at L1 slab level - but their home storey is GF.

If you want them to show on L1 as well, you can set the Floor Plan Display to 'Home Storey and One Storey Up'.
They will now display on that storey with the 'uncut' line style.

If you don't want them to show on the GF then you can set them to display on 'One Storey Up'.
I wouldn't do this, I would place then in L1 and set to display in 'Home Storey Only'

Hope that hasn't confused it for you.

Barry.

The slab probably has its Floor Plan Display set to "Home Storey and One Storey Down".
Or it could be set to "Custom" storeys where you can choose where it shows.
Slabs have different Floor Plan Display settings compared to other elements.
And yes, ideally all elements should have the same options.
