I have hidden elements in detail views that I would like to unhide. I am able to toggle "reveal hidden elements", select the wall, and click unhide element. However, it will not unhide. I have checked VG to see if the category is hidden and it is not. This is happening in various views and the main culprit seems to be stacked walls. Any help?

I have not seen this yet but I think I can understand why it may be.  Stacked walls are really stacked individual wall types.  As such, each "nested" wall can be picked and tagged according to it's own definition.  If you have a cropped view, you may be only picking the "nested" wall.  Did you try using the tab to see what your choices are?  They might be the entire stack or just the individual "nested" wall and that might be the problem.

I got very excited by the prospect of this. It did allow me to tab through the different sections of the wall. I tried to unhide all of them, but still nothing...

Have you checked your view range, maybe you have altered it since you hid the elements??

I know this might be a really obvious one but it catches me out quite alot.

Thanks, but I did check that as well. It's very bizarre because it will show up as pink when I toggle the light bulb. Once I click on it and unhide the element, it remains pink. I thought I may be in need of a revit re-install, but tried another computer in the office and had the same problem.

Did you try un-croping the view to see if that allows you to then pick the stack?

Looks like I double posted somehow, sorry about  that. I have tried uncropping the view as well and nothing changed.
