Elevation Updating

I cannot seem to figure out how to get my elevations to update with my model. I have made changes and have added a new story level, but the elevations don't show the new walls on the new story level and these hatch patterns aren't updating either. These updates are showing in the model though.

Any help here?

Are your Elevations set to Auto-rebuild Model, Manual-rebuild Model or Drawing? They're pretty self-explanatory, but if yours are Manual rebuild all you have to do is right-click in the elevation view and select Rebuild or Rebuild from Model.

They're set to Auto-rebuild Model.

I deleted the elevations in the plan view and drew in some new ones, which are now working like they should. I don't know why they were stuck on an old elevation view and required deleting when they were set to Auto-Rebuild?

Seems odd. Could you force a rebuild? At least you're up and running again.

I tried clicking the Rebuild button, but that didn't work either. I don't know what the problem was.
