Hidden 3D-Solids

[kudryavcevrm]

Hi Autodesk and users!

We met some stranges with P3D 2013. When we creating difficult equipment, we always explode p3D objects (pipes, elbows, valves, etc..) and got 3D-solids; after that we combine this solids into new equipment creating.

So, now we got strange errors in this way: some 3D-solids in 3D models are become hidden.

Please, look at my 2014 project attached.

At picture attached "After_CTRL_A_Pressed.jpg"  you can see  this hidden 3D-solids grips after "Select all" command. And you can to grip edit (for example,stretch) and this solid edited becomes visible again! ( see "After_grip_edit.jpg" file)

Please help me to understand why we got such hidden 3d-solids and how to correct them to become a visible again!

Thanks in advance!!

You may have a corrupt drawing file. I was able to start a new drawing in the Plant 3D Drawing files and then pasted your drawing into the new drawing. Once it was pasted into the new drawing it appeared like it should normally appear.

Hello, Quentin!

Thank you, thank you very much. This works! I'm almost satisfied, but I just want to understand why I got this corruption.

We got such kind of corruption for a 2 different drawings (equipment templates) at 2 different workstations in Plant 3D 2013 SP2.

Symptoms :

1) Strange behaviour of such 3D-solids : they  blink (twinkle) or hides when I increase (+) zoom - it is something like the opposite to adaptive degradation . After that I had turned on hardware acceleration, after that I had closed drawing, after that I had closed plant 3D.

2) After Plant 3D restart and after re-open drawing I got missing 3D-solids like in attachement.

May be you sometimes met the bug like described above?
