Finish Floor Not Visible

I cannot get the Floor Finish to be visible on 99% of Level 1 of my plan. Instead of seeing the Finish Floor material in 3D or Orthographic view I see the top level of the Floor Structure (plywood). I believe the Floor Finish is there because when I change the thickness of "Finish Floor (K)" the baseboard raises up accordingly but 3D view shows only empty space below the bottom of the baseboard.

 

The 0 level Floor Finish is fine. Also, if I create a room outside of my existing structure as a test, the Finish Floor appears as normal. I have one small area on the first floor where the finish floor is visible, which I've shown in the screenshot. In order to highlight the issue I made the flooring in the hallway 3" thick and blue in color. The flooring in the closest on the right has a 20" thick. 

 

Floor Finish thickness is not zero. I have all layers visible including Floor Surfaces (see dialog box in screenshot). There is nothing obvious on the floor below or above that would cause this.

What am I missing?

I have not created any Floor Material Regions that I am aware of. I can however add one as shown in screenshot2, here.

 

To recap the floor materials in this screenshot:

 

Room          Location      Material            Thickness

Hall             Center          Color-Blue                6”

Closet1        Right            Tile-Brown              20”

Closet2         Left             Carpet(taupe)         1/2"

Mat Rg       Cnt Fore       Cherry Parq            4"

 

Note that the blue floor material is visible in only a small portion of the room. There is no invisible wall, nor partition of any kind in that area. The baseboard and the door threshold are raised 6” in that room.

 

Note the baseboard in Closet1 is 20" off the floor.

 

Closet2 inherits it’s floor finish from the Floor 1 defaults.

 

The newly added Floor Material Region is clearly visible and spans across all three rooms. 

 

I'm stumped.

Go into your layer settings to the Material Region layer and turn it on. You'll see a big lavender colored region that covers almost your entire first floor (except the little area where your floor finish is displaying). Select that material region and either delete it or give it a thickness.
