Lines not showing in "Demolition Plan"

Am I missing something simple? On a demolition plan (with Renovation Filter set to "02 Demolition Plan", any lines I try to draw, set to Demolition Status as default, are not visible. The lines are there (the handles show when I select), but remain invisible. Any suggestions?

Maybe the line is very very short so it appears to be a hotspot on the screenshot.

The other hotspot is several feet off the screenshot to the left, so the line is there, but hidden.

I'll try opening a new test project with default settings to see if I can get this problem to replicate. Puzzling. Thanks.

FOUND THE PROBLEM, with the help of Nick at Graphisoft Support. The Line Category was set to 'Skin Separator Line'; when I change this to 'Drafting Line' my lines are visible. I guess the Skin Separator Line was being overridden due to Renovation Filter options.

Working with the Renovation Filter is new to me, and adds another level of complexity. Thanks All for your replies.

Ahhh, I had dismissed that as you had specified it as a drafting line!

Oh well, glad Nick helped you solve your issue!

Cheers,
