Reveals not showing on doors or window in 3d and elevation

Hi all, I am having an issue with my door and window reveals which are invisible on elevations and in 3D. They show on the floor plan, and the node locations indicate that they exist. I can't find any relevant topics to this. It is not related to the reveal settings. It is not related to the filter or renovation settings, and the model view options are set to show reveals. 

 

As this is the only project where this is an issue, I assume it started when I created and saved some custom windows which have complex forms. I've attached an image of typical library based round window showing how the reveals (spandrels) are hidden. Also, an image of the custom window I made, which has possibly affected all windows and doors. (These custom windows were created by using a typical sash window and overlaying another wall with the custom created window designed as a frame. )

 

Thanks for any solutions! 🙂

I think this happens because you saved the geometries as Custom Windows. In that case, only a small set of parameters and capabilities will be available, and Reveal parameters, as many others, will not be available.

The solution may be to model the reveal as well, and save it that way as a Custom Window.
