Yup, this is a work around. but i must issue a “use at your own risk” disclaimer. I agree with the way Revit deals with this issue. i only posted this 1) as an answer to those having this problem and 2) so one can have the the option to resolve it but being aware of the implications. I think this is an interesting issue so i welcome the conversation.

Thanks

that’s the reason. Revit does not show the axis if they are not perpendicular to your elevation.
