I am having another weird problem. In my Main Level Plan view I can drop a Callout, but I can't see it and I get the error message: Warning None of the created elements are visible... You know the message, right. So, I checked the Visibility/Graphics, and Callouts are checked on. I tried it in my Upper Level plan, and it worked just fine. Here is the really weird part. If I go back to the Main Level Plan, and try another callout this time I will do it as a reference to the callout that doesn't appear, and POW it works. So, I can drop a callout that I can't see, and then drop a reference that I can see. Please tell me that this has happened to you before, and you have already figured out an easy answer. Thanks

Don't everyone answer at once. lol I was working on this project today, and all of the Callouts appeared. The similar ones were right on top of the real ones. After screaming once or twice, I figured out that the Crop Region had just been turned off momentarily. When I turned the Crop Region back on the real Callouts dissapeared again. I checked the View Properties, and the Annotation Crop in not checked. These callouts are in the middle of the builing, so they are not being cut by the Crop Region. The problem is still unsolved, but I have just a bit more information to give you. If anyone can come up with an idea of what to check next, I would greatly appretiate it.

I just ran into this problem, running RA2008. When you shut off crop regions, the callout shows up. Of course that dosent solve the problem. I am having the problem on two levels, not just one. Also, it looks like its not just callouts, its also happening with sections. some show up when the crop is on, others show up when its off, some are always shown. I dont understand what is going on. This never happened with previous versions of revit. i am off to find the users guide il post if i find anything...

I have seen the same thing happen with Section lines only. I conquer "I dont understand what is going on." I am still working on the same project, and every callout on the Main Level is an invisible real callout and a visible referance callout. It is kind of a pain, but at least there is a sensible work around. If you find an answer I would love to hear it.

I've had a similar issue where my 2nd floor interior elevation callouts show up on the first floor refelcted ceiling plan (but not all of them). In my case we dont put interior elevation tag callouts on the rcp so I just hid them all anyways. It seems to be fairly random, perhaps just a bug. Just as a check does this only happen on your computer or other peoples also? Eiethr way it could be a bad install. If it happens on all comp at your office it could be an issue with your network deployment. Try reinstalling revit on 1 computer directly from the dvd. It seems like you hear about a lot of installation driven bugs.

If you are on Subscription with Autodesk, I would highly recommend submitting these tag visibility problems to them... They are usually pretty helpful and even when they dont have a workaround for you (or a reason it is happening) it is good to make them aware of the problem so hopefully it can be fixed by the next time they update the software... They will usually ask you to send them the drawing to see if they can duplicate your problem, at least this would tell you if it was an installation problem or not... Lastly, Is everybody using the latest build??

before i posted previously i installed the latest build, which i think may have not worked properly, because i got so frustrated today that i downloaded the lastest build again and now all works properly. must have been an install fluke the first time.

Hi, I've just discovered this same problem for a project that I'm working on in Revit 2008. When I create a callout on a plan view, with the plan view un-cropped, it appears. As soon as I crop the view all the callouts on the plan view dissapear even though they are well within the crop boundary. I have no problem creating callouts in section views though. I was wandering whether anyone had found anything out from Autodesk yet or a solution to the problem apart from using referenced views? I'd appreciate if someone answered, it's been a month since the last post on this thread. cheers, John-Paul

Well I am pretty sure it has to do with the latest addition of the annotation crop region and told autodesk that in my last correspondence with them. Here are the last couple reply's I got back from them though. Thanks for your feedback. I will pass along your information to our development team. They have confirmed that the problem you are seeing is an issue with the program and they are investigating if they can provide a fix for the issue in a service pack or future release. As soon as I hear anything from them regarding this I will let you know. Then a couple days later got this one... This is an update to your Support Request. Our development team has tentatively scheduled to deliver a fix to this problme in the next major release of the product. The specific release date is unknown, so please use the timing of previous release cycles as a guideline.Please note: Our quality assurance teams may need to reschedule some fixes. Please rely on the above timeline information as a guideline only and not a guarantee. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. The only work around I have been able to come up with was to leave the crop region alone... After these responses from Autodesk, I told my boss I was a little disappointed with paying this kind of money to be their Beta Testers... Good Luck

Thanks very much for your quick reply JDahl. Referencing the views, for me, isn't too problematic since it's a small project but I think it'll become a pain for large projects. Though I'm amazed how a glitch this obvious could get through to the major release and not provding a patch in the mean time is unhelpful. jp

I managed to fix the origianl problem tha started this thread. I went into my template, and deleted the Main Level. I drew a new Level at the same elevation, and named it Main Level. I had to rebuild my Site Plan and Main Level RCP, but the problem is fixed, and my callouts show up in new projects. I'm still not sure what caused it, but this workaround seems to be perminant.
