Lines and fill not showing up

Hi

 

I encountered something very peculiar in my file. It is important to note that I did not have any of these problems before in any other file or this one. Did I press the wrong button or something?

So, when I draw a line, I can see it was drawn, however, I cannot see it when I end it. That goes for both line and polyline. See screenshots below.

Next are fills. I can see them, but only their background colour.

So if anyone knows what happened, I would appreciate it.

Check your renovation filter and graphical overrides...it's usually my first stop if anything isn't displayed correctly.

@figge may be right, it could be Graphic Overrides. I don't think it is the Renovation Filter because if, let us say, the Reno Status of your Polylines/Fills is "To be Demolished" and your active Reno Filter hides "To be Demolished" elements, then the Reno Palette automatically switches to "Existing" as the default Reno Status so you cannot even place an element that would not be visible immediately after placement.

 

However, on your screenshot, I see that the Line Category of the Polyline is set to "Skin Separator Line" and in Graphic Override Rules' Override Style, there is a checkbox that Hides Skin Separator Lines. I could even reproduce your Polyline behavior when the "Simplified Plan" Graphic Override is active (Ac29 INT, default template) and I try to place a Polyline with the "Skin Separator Line" Line Category - while drawing it, it is visible, but after I complete it, it immediately disappears. And checking the "Simplified Plan" Graphic Override, one of its Rules ("All Cut Fills - Solid Black") does hide Skin Separator Lines.

 

Your Fill background color may be similarly affected by a Graphic Override Rule.

I assume you can select them though?
