I am having a problem placing an exterior 1'-4" thick Brick and Cmu wall ontop of my foundation wall. My foundation wall top is at the ground floor level and I have tried to place the exterior 16" thick wall on top of it with a height to bmd. it keeps telling me this:
None of the created elements are visible in Structural Plan: GROUND FLR View. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings, as well as any Plan Regions and their settings.
Can someone please let me know what I am doing. the visibility range is 4' above the ground floor and the cut plane is 1' above. Did I click something I should not have.
(Oh - I also created the wall type myself. I also tried using one of the generic walls and it deletes my dimension line and still doesn't place the wall)
Also - sorry in advance, I am new at revit.

In View range, change the "View Depth" to "Level below"

OK - just tried that and it still won't put it in and it leaves this note:
Highlighted walls overlap. One of them may be ignored when Revit finds room boundaries. Use Cut Geometry to embed one wall within the other.
I don't understand this because my foundation walls stop at the ground floor. I do have my columns in, are they talking about my coulmns?

Are you sure you have those walls with "Base Offset" to "0"???

I have in the Instance Properties Box:
Base Constraint - Ground Flr
Base Offset - 0' 0"
Top Constraint - Up to Level: BMD
Top Offset - 0' 0"

More than likely the Discipline for the view is set to "structural" it needs to be set to "architectural" or "coordination" for architectural walls to show up.

"BINGO"
But... How do I get the wall to show up in my sections - will changing the discipline to architectural mess up anything, will some of the structural not show up?
And what if I want the cmu walls to show up on the interior, just say they are structural?

You can use the coordination setting to show both. You can also set the wall type to structural. I believe the structural walls will show in sections.

Thanks! - I will try both ways and I guess see which works best for each job.
One last question - do you find that you leave the plans at coordination most of the time or structural?

Actually I work for an architectural firm so I use architectural most of the time. Foundation plans are about the only one I use structural or coordination for.

Assuming you are working in Revit Structure...leave your settings to structural and set the wall type to bearing, then it will show up in all views.
