MEP 2012 - Display Problem with 2D Vertical Section of Conduit Smaller than 1”

[JoeVernice]

I am having a problem creating 2D vertical sections of conduit smaller than 1”. From the attached you can see that the defining line representation of ½” and ¾” conduits is not appearing in the vertical section. In the 2D Section/Elevation style the maintain layer, color, and linetype properties from the display set is checked so the section objects are drawn using the corresponding object layers. The outer and inner shrinkwrap display components are set not to display (too much extra linework not on the correct layer). This leaves the defining line as the visible display component. This works well with all objects except conduit smaller than 1”. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to have the outer shrinkwrap inherit its layer from the sectioned object?

Thank you,

Select on one of the conduit and select Edit System Style from the contextual ribbon. Select the Other tab and check "Exclude from 2D Section Shrinkwrap. Select Ok and then refresh your section. Should update to show all conduits.

Please let me know if this works for you.

Thanks
