For our presentations we place a filled region on top of a floor to give it a nice effect. We just upgraded to Revit 2014 and for some reason all of our filled regions are underneath our floors. We can still toggle over them, but otherwise they are invisible. Has this happened to anyone else?
Any help would be great. Thank you so much!

it works well for me..
if you ugrade the file after placing filled region, try to make new view and remake it.
or why don't you use color fill legend function? it's much easier.

Thank you so much for the quick response. It seems to be only happening with my transparent hatches. Do the transparent hatches work well for you too?

We also color our floors which seems to be a problem. On pure white floors our transparent hatches show up. However, on colored floors they disappear!

I've attached a picture of the problem. Do you see anything wrong with what I am doing? I changed my accelerator and that didn't work.
Thank you,

I'm having the same problem, in a file that was recently upgraded from 2013. All the existing filled regions are showing up just fine, transparent and opaque. But when I add a new transparent region, I don't see it at all against a shaded object. Has anyone found a solution to this???
I thought maybe it was just a screen problem, but it's a problem on the actual print, as well. This will set us way back....

Unfortunately, we never figured out how to fix it. Supposedly, 2014 is running fine for everyone else and that maybe our problem is our graphics card and/or computers.
As a work around, we created floors in lieu of the filled region. They can also be assigned a hatch and a transparency. I wonder if a generic model in-place family would be a good work around for you.

Here is an image from a file that was updated to 2014 and I put a transparent hatch over several objects. It seems to work fine.
This may be a video card problem. Turn off hardware acceleration.

Definately not a gc problem it is a bug within 14, I'm encountering a similar issue. I have an HVAC zoning plan with 3 different color and and hatch patterns in. What I did was create a masked filled region so my room text and pressure tags would appear opaque over the hatching. (Just like every revit release.) It looks fine within revit, box around text qnd all, but once I print the hatch overlays over my masked region. I brought it to the foreground and the masking worked, but that hides all the ARCH walls and since I'm doing a pressure cascade between rooms that's useless!
Also once back to square one th we ARCH model walls are on top of the zone boundary lines (I know setting the view to wireframe resolves this, but you cant have the hatching as foreground in wireframe. Just for the fun of it I did the same procedure in 2012 and 2013... worked fine!
Autodesk needs to stop moving things around (or forgetting to add things into new releases!) I it aint broke don't fix it!

I've found a quick work around for this, in case any one else encounters this issue:
Give your floors a transparency in visiblity/graphics. It can be as little as 1% which is pretty negligible otherwise.
