Beam not showing on any plans but will show in section

I have placed these TJI beams in a plan view and they don't show on any stories with the layer on, but they all show on the section. I am baffled as to why. I have tried changing many settings. Any suggestions?

I am not sure if I can fix that. What other options do others use to post a plan file?

I found a way to open permissions to anyone with the link. Try again.

Their Floor Plan Display was different and would have prevented them from showing, BUT, even after correction, and changing the Overhead line pen from the default white, the beams did not show up in plan...

It would appear to be a bug. I changed the Floor Plan Display to All Relevant Floors and they show up. Changed it back to Home Story Only, and they remain visible.

If this appears to be a bug, have you reported this, or do I need to?

Whelp. I did not report it at the time, but I shall now. If you already have, oh well, more pressure for them.
