I have drawn some pipework in Revit MEP and it shows up, as it should, in all views. But when I link it to a boiler and assign a system to it the pipework disappears in all but the 3D views. The boiler is still visible. I've tried using filters but that doesn't seem to work.

check your filters and make sure the hydronic filter is visible

Thanks jterrell, I tried that but still no good. The filters I have on are 'Domestic Cold Water' & 'Domestic Hot Water which are the systems the pipes are using when I connect them to the boiler.

We had some disappearing ductwork a while ago, and it turned out that the duct was assigned to "other". Check the connector in the boiler and make sure it is set to either Global (which will cause it to inherit the system type to which it is connected) or something more specific (Domestic hot water, or whatever the system type is that the boiler is part of). HTH.

Thanks jlights, I had the connectors set to Domestic Hot Water & Domestic Cold Water. I've cracked it now, although I had DHW and DCW in the filters list, it was only when I clicked the visibilty on the 'Domestic' filter that the other two systems became visible. Strange!
