Revit Structure Question: Where are the Architectural Walls?

Question: Currently I have an architectural model linked into my Revit Structure model. For some reason, I cannot see the architectural walls in my structural model. I have tried all combinations in the visibility graphics, the Reveal hidden elements button, reloading it as an overlay vs. attachment, changing the import categories visibility and nothing seems to be working.

Answer: It’s the View Discipline! In the Properties of the View, change the Discipline to Co-ordination. Coordination combines Architectural and Structural. Setting it to Structural would hide the non bearing walls from the view.
