Stair structure not showing in section

[Yvonne]

Is there a reason why the structure of a 2 riser stair won't show up in section but if I change it to 3 it will?

You might have a duplicate stair at the same place.

Turns out its just a setting in flight structure settings

Greetings, I am having a similar issue in AC25 V 4013 using Mac OS 10.15.7.  I have tried the settings noted in the solution posted above however it is not working.  Basically the stair can be selected in section but is not visible.  Please see the attached screenshots.

In the Model View Options Dialog, go to the "Stair Options" panel and make sure the "Stair 3D and Section/Elevation" options is set to "Full".

Also, remember that your Views are using these MVO settings so you need to check and change all your MVO combinations in which you want the Stair to be shown.

It seems that somehow the stair can have a different renovation filter setting compared to the components of the stair.

When they are all set back the same, all is good again.

Maybe when Yvonne was playing with the settings, it reset the renovation filters as well - if that was the same issue?

Similar trouble. In my case it's the 3D Docs that don't display the stairs. They show up fine in plan, section, and even when I "Open 3D Source". I even click "Refine 3D Document" but same invisible stairs. I checked out Barry's insightful suggestion, but they're all set to "All Relevant Filters". 

Any thoughts?

This occurred on a previous project in AC25. New project is in AC25, but same problem when opened in AC25.

Hello,

Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts! 
I remember seeing a similar case from the past. According to that it is possible that the file has a 'far from origin' issue which means that there are elements placed too far from the project origin. It's worth checking if your file is corrupted in this way or not. To do that please go to the floor plan, turn all layers on and by double clicking the mouse scroll use the 'fit in window' command. If there are elements in the distance your zoom will jump to 0.000001%. Try deleting those elements and see if it solves your issue.

If it was not related to the case, I suggest reaching out to your local support because it might need deeper investigation.

Kind regards,

Thanks Benjamin, there was one odd object that was strangely far away--though not crazy far like you described. I tried deleting it anyway, but it wouldn't delete. So I just brought it in closer but still same missing stairs in 3D docs. 

By 'local support' you mean my reseller?
