Riser/Drop Appearance

I've been successful getting drops to display correctly when duct is
connected to both sides of the drop. I can't get risers or drops to display
correctly when the duct rises or drops and doesn't continue horizontally
again. I have attached 3 images to illustrate what is happening. The first
image is what it looks like 3d. The second is how it shows up in plan view.
And the third is the way I want it to look (made in sdsk). I have redefined
the block rectangular_rise_supply.dwg to look the way I want but it appears
the program is using the drop symbol for risers and drops. I have checked
the risers/drop styles and they are set correctly. The drop isn't even
showing correctly. The leading edge of the duct that drops should show as
hidden (which it does) but the solid edge should disappear the same way
drops are shown when duct is connected to both sides.

Is the program able to do this?

Thanks,

Andrew

I finally got the riser to show correctly by issuing the "reversesegment"
command. What is the point of this command? A duct riser should use the
riser symbol regardless of whether the air is flowing up the riser or down
the riser. I thought this was the point of setting up riser/drop styles?

The drop at the end of the line still won't display properly. Any ideas??

Thanks
