    hello.

     

    I have created some hose runs and I want to create a drawing of the runs.

    but my hoses are only outlined, how do I make them solid ?

     

    the other parts are fully colored.

    using inventor 2012.

     

    thanks

    I've not used pipes much but in cable and harness you right click the wire and choose 'show rendered' or something along those lines.

    Here's a pic of the IAM file.

    all hoses are "painted" with  solid blue or green.

    Possibly check that the drawing view matches the model view (no over-rides or correct view-rep). Weither the tube run is modeled with the colors in each tubing run or you have changed the color in Studio, they should come through on the view.

     

    Possibly move the model into Studio and apply colors to the tubes and see if it comes across to your drawing.
