For some reason, the room separation lines will not display in our plan view. Tried looking through the VG settings, and lines are turned on, tried changing scales and detail level. Nothing seems to get these lines to display! Any thoughts? Any other controls that might be affecting the display of room/area information? thanks!

Strange! Can you select all and use filter (the funnel icon) and see if you have a checkbox named Room separation, normally it's the first item on the list. If you have then, some item are just covering it. If not, then do you have them vanishing on one plan orall plan view?

It is just this one plan view. I tried selecting all and no luck, room separation lines don't appear in the filter list. I was able to work around by creating a view template from a new plan view, and then applying to the plan. Magically the room separation lines appear, so there must have been some setting that was changed.

Room seperation lines are a sub-category of lines. Did you expand the line category and make sure they were on? If you are in 2008 or 2009, did you check to see if the lines were hidden in view?

Not to beat this one to death but... yes we did expand the lines to check that all types of lines were turned on, so I think we exhausted the visibility/graphics setting. We are still in 2008. Another strange thing also happened with this plan view, the enlarged plan callouts were also not appearing. The section tags and even detail sections were all still visible. Again, we did check all the visibility/graphics parameters - annotations callouts were on. We also double checked the callout head settings,and these had not changed either. While we did find a work around as previously mentioned, I am still rather perplexed as to what view setting got flipped.

I am experience the same problem in one of my files. I bet you it is not any setting but a possible bug in the program.

I doubt you have found a bug. There are several reason these lines may not be showing ... VG ... actual level they were placed on .... phases, worksets. Look out for plan regions too. You can always goto a 3d view and turn off everything but these lines. Then you may find out they are not on because ... whatever.

Sorry about my previous post, I take it back. The floor to floor heights had changed. I had just assumed that room sepreation lines would move with the level. They are model lines they dont move with the levels. My floors were sitting on top of the room sepreation lines. Ideally having room seperation lines associated with a level would take care of this problem.

I have had this problem a number of times and always forget how I was able to get the Room Separation lines to show, when they are obviously turned on under Visibility Graphics but not showing up. Try switching your view to wireframe versus hidden line. When using a CAD link, this works for me

Thanks Papillon916, I had a similar problem, the seperation lines were turned on, no vg overides, no template, not hidden just weren't showing, probably something I did wrong when setting them up tbh! Anyway switched to wireframe and there they were, would try that first for anyone having the same problem

You probably had a surface that hid the room seperation lines like a floor with the finish set above the working floor level.

I had the same problem, then I set the View Range to extend down to the level below and the room separation lines magically appeared!

Room / Space separation lines are phased just like equipment, walls, etc. It is not treated like an annotative object. Be sure your view is set to show the correct phase. Change your phase filter to show all and they should appear.
