Master Layouts Not Showing Up on sheets?

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have a project that is teamworked. The person who was working on the file somehow screwed up the file and now none of the masters show up on any title sheet. When I go to the masters sheets all of the line work is there along with the text and fills which are all on ArchiCAD Layer. There is no white fills over the masters. I am stumped? I have even tried to reling to a new master withing the layout book and the titles simply do not show up.
ANY IDEAS?

I have seen some buggy behaviour here. Switch all layers on and off a few times, go back and forth to plan view, document view, master view, eventually they will come back...

There is also a check box that needs to be checked for the master to show on the layout. It was driving me nuts as I too had everthing in place on the master and the individual layouts had no content of the master showing. The setting is in the "on screen view optiions" look down the list and find the setting that has the master items showing or not. Somehow I had found a way to turn this item off without knowing.

Hope it helps

Has worked for me: Switch the layout's master and switch it back.

Has happened to me too.

Switched to master layout and back again to the layout and the titles returned.

By the way, where are the "on screen view options" located? I looked and did not find them.

My thread is similar to this.

For the master elements go to VIEW/ON SCREEN VIEW OPTIONS/MASTER ITEMS ON LAYOUT. The above caps are not for yelling only to follow the path to the sectio in question.
