CS1 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I have "framing members" in three different classes. I have assigned a different fill colour for each class. When I view my framing members in 3D they remain white. I have checked all the abvious stuff like "use at creation" and checked the OIP for all the framing members is "use class attributes" If I select a framing member and change the fill from "class" to say blue it shows as blue. Whats going on? Quote Link to comment
Don Berinati Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I'll take a crack at this because no one else has. I had similar problems with framing members, notably the fact that only 'joist' displayed correctly in VP's and the attributes edited in same. Any other framing member I used refused to display correctly and could not be edited; in fact, I noted in a previous post on a related thread that if I tried to edit a framing member not specified as a joist, VW2008 went back and altered every similar object so that it displayed incorrectly on the source design layer (ie, lost any texture I had specified and turned them all a shade of grey, which I assume is some default thingie). In other words, a bug. Admittedly, I've not revisited this since SP3 so don't know whether it's been fixed. My crude workaround was to make everything a joist that could be made a joist; rafters cannot. Hope this helps - Quote Link to comment
