The only reason something might not show is if there is some 'clipping plane' issues for the display, but if everything shows around it, that's not it.

It'd ADT... so... is the block you used for the window, perchance not set up to display in a "perspective" view?  I know very little, so far, about multi-view objects, but just thinking along the lines of how they show differently depending on the view, is there a way to check to see if it is set to display anything when in a PERSPECTIVE view?  (when your camera is set as your view, PERSPECTIVE is automatically toggled on, to show the camera point of view 'properly' )

That's my first thought. 

Have you tried hitting 'render' to see if it shows in the output there?  It should go real quick with basic settings.

Thanks!

Sorry, that's where my vanilla-self stops having ideas... sounds like a vertical-specific problem to me, but I'm glad you at least got something presentable to get you by until you find out the real answer.

Display config??  Are you using a different display configuration from that of the floor plan?
