Ortho layer colors not updating

Hello!

 

I know that there are several threads with questons regarding Ortho Layer behaviour, but I have a specific question so I started a new thread.

 

I use Plant 3D 2014. I generate an ortho and I get the pipeline layers in ortho drawing coloured according to pipe colors in the model, which is cool. But when I change the pipeline colors in model and update the ortho view, colors won't change. Is this normal? Must I then create a new view to get the updated colors or is there any other way? It is annoying because I want to try out how different pipe colors look like on paper. I have all pipe colors in model set to ByLayer and I change color from the layer manager.

PS. I have the "use 3D model settings" (or something..) checked in the Projet Setup->Ortho settings

 

Thanks

Jörgen

is it your VISRETAIN setting?

Thank you for the reply. VISRETAIN in the piping model was set to 1, changed it to 0 but nothing changed, colors are still not updating.

 

Any other ideas?

You will have to change VISRETAIN in the ortho drawing not the piping model

Silly me. That was the solution!

 

Thank you Sir!
