We're having an odd problem with one floor of a project in Revit MEP 2011. When the view is set to wireframe, the piping and ductwork disappear. (So does the building in the linked arch model, but the hatches in the link remain visible.) When you mouse over the area, you can see the outlines. The problem remains whether you are in coarse, medium or fine detail level. The other floors in the project don't have this problem. Visibility graphics for all the views are set the same way.

Any thoughts you have on what's going on would be appreciated.

If it is only one floor, then there is something special about that view... something that is different from the other views that don't do this. 

Whenever something like this happens, the first thing do do is to create a new view.  DON'T DUPLICATE THE VIEW!  You want a new view that doesn't have the same settings as the view that doesn't work right. 

Now, does it work correctly?  If so, you can copy over all 2D work and delete the previous view.  OR ... You can do some forensics work to determine what's different.  That can take some time but it is a useful learning experience.
