Marker Style Bug

[Cadguru42]

I believe I've found a bug with marker styles. I found this while editing a profile style. Under my profile style I have the Point of Vertical Intersection set to PI Point for the marker style. 

Here is the screenshot of the marker style for the plan view.

Here is the screenshot of the marker style for the profile view with part of my profile shown next to it. Notice how the marker color is different in the profile than what it's set to. It's also not changing layers. It seems that the profile setting for the marker style display doesn't actually work. It takes the settings for the plan view and ignores the profile display style. 

Anyone else have this problem?

Oddly, a Profile is treated as a plan view object.

If you assign the same PI Point marker style to a feature line's style (see the Profile tab of the Feature Line Style editor then assign the color and layer settings for the different view directions) it works as you would expect.

Best regards,

So I guess it's not a bug but a normal oddity of C3D? I wonder if it has to do with an alignment and profile being seperate 2d entities instead of a 3d polyline like a feature line? It just seems stupid to have a display setting for a profile display of an object that doesn't work on an actual profile. 

I guess I'll just copy the PI Marker style and create a VPI marker style with slightly different settings.

That sounds like a reasonable workaround.
