MaltbyDesign Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Hello all, I've created a parapet/cap flashing that shows up as planned in 3D views however in Top Plan it appears that I can't apply a solid fill colour so that it masks the visibility of the wall below. Is there a way to give "Extrude Along Path" shapes a coloured fill? The class texture works fine in Open GL and other rendering styles. See Fig. 1 I then thought, okay I can apply "Hidden Line" render to the plan, which does conceal the wall information below but it doesn't appear as it should in plan. I just get a set pf parallel lines with short perpendiculars. See Fig. 2 Fig. 3 shows what it should look like in plan, but it only appears this way briefly if I use my scroll wheel on the mouse to zoom in and out, or pan the screen. It then returns to how it looks in Fig. 2 Any thoughts on what might be causing this? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 3D only objects (like extrusions) are only rendered as wireframe in Top/Plan view. You will either need to use Top view where they will render, or convert the objects to Hybrid (either make a symbol or and AutoHybrid Object using the command in the AEC menu) and give the object a "screen plane" equivalent that can display as a filled object in Top/Plan. 1 Quote Link to comment
