Pipe style in profile

[mrrgoncalves]

Trying to make some changes to improve reading.

The pipes are going to center of structure and would like to change the appearance but maintain the lenght to the center or in last case to the structure wall.  

The image explains the 'problem'. Red line should be the correct appearence

There is a way to correct the position?

Thank you

does your style show the outside wall?

[mrrgoncalves]

Yes, the style shows the outside wall, is the unique line visible in pipe profile style.

We show our Pipes to outside walls in the Pipe Style too.

It looks like your structure "Floor Thickness"  may be set to 0 or close to it.

If the "Floor Thickness" is displayed the Red Lines you show should be fixed.

Structure properties_Part Properties Tab_slab thickness to check this setting.

Jay,

How thick do you have to make the floor for this to work?

My problem is that we need to draw the inside of the structure, not the outside.  So far our solution is to have very thin walls and floor; but obviously this leads to the problem with the pipes attaching to the centre instead of the walls.

[Jay_B]

Ours are set to 0.67 or 1 Imperial units. (see attached).

I guess it's 3.011x10^23 of one or half a mole of the other.

We can't show sumps like that in profile view.  In the past we've put wipeouts on all our manholes for this.  It's either that or trace over everything with plain old lines, and turn off the style of pipes & profiles.  We can't win really; until we get the ability to draw the inside walls of structures and turn of the outside wall.

When we first switched to C3D we had a lot of comments regarding the floor thickness being shown. Once we got used to seeing it it wasn't a big of a deal. (my standard for answer is it's representing everyhing in 3d)

I've been using the Wipeout / Masking technique for the "Aprons" or "Outlet" structures.

Hopefully these will become better to work with in the future.

End up drawing aprons manually because they never look desireable in profile.

so, you have the same 'problem', though it was exclusive from my style.

Jay if you drawq the interior lines the result will be aproximally the same with floor thickness ou sump drop, whats the bennefit?
