Family symbolic lines / plan view

cbt990 — Wed, 17 Nov 2021 17:19:05 GMT

Hello all,

~~Two different families I am hosting on a certain level are having visibility issues in plan view~~. In this 3D view, you can see (1) bike storage lockers x4 and (2) trash bins x2:

In plan view, the bike lockers appear as a dashed line, and the trash cans don't appear at all.

Here are my view range settings:

So I can understand why the bike lockers appear dashed, but I would assume that the cans would also display some kind of cut line. I would like to make an adjustment to the bike locker view lines as well because in my site plan, they still appear dashed, while I would expect them to appear as solid outlines.

Linking the families for reference.

edit - bike lockers are okay in site view now.

Symbolic lines are 2D elements. They do not show in 3D Views.

Change your View Detail Level to Medium or Fine.

...or go through and change the Visibility Settings of the Geometry in the Family.

That was an easy one, thanks all.
