  8. The view's far clip depth is not sufficient to show the object
  9. The element resides on a workset that is not loaded within the project
  10. The element resides on a workset that is not visible in the view

  12. The element resides on a workset that is not visible in a linked file
  13. The element resides within a group (detail model) and it has been excluded from the group
  14. The element is part of a design option that is not visible in the view
  15. The element is part of a linked file that is not visible in the view
  16. The element has one or more of its edges overridden to display as '<Invisible lines>'

  19. The element is set to not be visible at the category's detail level
  20. The element has been placed outside the view's crop region (visible extents)
  21. The element is an annotation object and does not reside entirely within the annotation crop region
  22. The element's phase settings or the view's phase settings prevent the object from displaying in the view
