Sup RevitCity Members..?

I am having some problem with measuring individual elements within Walls.

Some foor plans allow me to measure all elements within the walls and other plans do dont....!!!

The 3 Jpegs depict my problem.

The plan with all Four dimensions (Undercroft View) is only 480mm highter than the plan with One dimension (Undercroft Slab)

If any one can help, it would be very much appricated.

You know you can use the "TAB" key to select elements, right?

Is the view cut perpindicular to the wall you want to dimension?  Probably not.

@WWHub

Yes Sir, the Undercroft Slab Level / plan is horitontal to the wall.

I have even tryied creating a new level at the same height, lower and above and I am having the same problems.

Its driving me mad.

@Typoon

Yes Sir, thank you, Iv tried the Tab Key. Sadly that didnt work.

I wish it was that simple.

That is a section view!  Is the section cut perpindicular to the wall?

These are not walls by face are they?

Two of the images are plans, only one is a section. (840mm is the section)

I have made many Plans and Sections from this model but not ever Plan works correctly.

If you look at the plans again, you will see that only one image (with all dims) shows every line between the insulation, blockwork and plaster.

However, the plan with one Dim does not. (Hence why the Tab key doesnt work)

Its very strange.

I just wish I could contact the original people that created it, however, its become very political, that I cannot.

Im bassed in London (UK), if I could met with someone that is a Guru in Revit, I would pay them for their time to help me out.

Do you know anyone that is willing to help...?

@WWHub and @Typhoon

Guess what, I found out what the problem was.

Within the Visibility Graphics under 'Wall' all the tick boxes were off.

It was as simple as that.

Nevertheless, Thank you for your help.
