Onink Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I have a problem with my viewports. Whenever I want to show my elements that are grouped or a symbol, they are displayed as an wireframe. It doesn't matter if I'm in Open GL or a renderstyle. When I ungroup them the problem is solved, but that's not how it should work. Has anyone else experienced this? Quote Link to comment
0 TKA Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 when grouping or converting to a symbol new attributes are assigned, double check the the group attributes match the elements within it. Quote Link to comment
0 Onink Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 What do you mean with matching the group attributes with the elements within? When I create a group with my solids that are in 2 or 3 different classes it should be just fine. This never happened in VW 2016 Quote Link to comment
0 Kevin McAllister Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Are you able to post an example file or a screen shot? That would help us to track down the issue for you. I have seen groups render differently but never consistently. Kevin Quote Link to comment
0 Onink Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Kevin, here's an example. As you can see I've got three cabinets, which were the same symbol. I've made one into a group and one ungrouped. I wonder what could be the issue. In the meanwhile I'm going to download SP 3, let's find out what the've fixed... Symbol group and solids.vwx Quote Link to comment
0 Kevin McAllister Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I'm seeing the same thing when rendering in Hidden Line both on a design layer or in a sheet layer viewport. It seems to only affect true views (Front, Side, Back etc.) not 3d views. I think its a bug related to Hidden Line rendering. The workaround mentioned in another thread is to create a section viewport to look at the object from the front instead. Not really ideal since section viewports have to regenerate and then re-render. Here is a screen shot showing the different types of viewports and how they render - There are two other similar forum threads I know of - @JimW are you able to add this thread to a previous bug submission or should we bug submit it again?

Question
Onink
I have a problem with my viewports.
Whenever I want to show my elements that are grouped or a symbol, they are displayed as an wireframe.
It doesn't matter if I'm in Open GL or a renderstyle.
When I ungroup them the problem is solved, but that's not how it should work.
Has anyone else experienced this?
