    Detail Item Misbehaving

    I could scream!

    I have a detail Item that I inserted which was a CAD file base.

    When I made it I put a masking region behind it, it was working for a while and even the old ones still work, but recently when I copy/paste or insert it's like the masking region is somehow in front of it...or something else entirely, I'm perplexed

    I've re-edited the family, I've tried putting the masking region in front thinking perhaps that was it, I even made a whole new one without the mask and it won't work at all, if I amend one to the new test version it just disappears and nothing comes in at all, even if I insert new...I thought it must be a view thing so I went to edit the V/G overrides and the detail isn't even in the file but the working one is...what the heck!? I'm lost....

    Any ideas?

    TIA

    Just curious, what is special in that detail that makes you import CAD content? Is it not better to draw this in Revit and avoid all these issues? See your image #2, you already have several CAD imports. This can slow down and corrupt your models.

      They're there because they are the base of the drawing - this is what was provided by the client for locates and site info, and the guy I am working for has CAD details he wants me to use. I try to link as much as possible vs inserting them, but for a detail that you have in CAD originally - is there a better way to get it over to Revit beyond recreation? I suppose I could delete a few now that it's drawn, perhaps that will help...

        There is another way but its not better, but you can copy/paste between cad and revit. I would not recommend it though.
        You are better to redraw the object from scratch that way you don't get all the cad linetypes brought in.
