Rebar in 3D

Anonymous — Wed, 03 Jan 2018 14:22:07 GMT

Hi,

is there a way to set rebar to look like solid in 3D view? I checked "as solid" but it steel looks like wire!

Regards!

Hi Mark,

For the rebar to be solid in a 3D view, you will have to change both the View Visibility State to Solid, as well as change the View Detail Level to Fine.

Hope this helps!

Thank you!

Is there a way to make bars solid in 2D layout? It's ok when I scale to 1:25 but when I have to print details in 1:5 or even 1:10 than I'd prefer them to be solid.

Regards!

How did you manage to get colored baras in 3D?

When I select "consistent colors" in visual styles I get this:

Although my layout looks like this:

I expect to see same colors in 2D and 3D!!!???

Maybe if you want to see colors in bars to say something, so you have to select "realistic" in visual style, and then you should have made a duplicate before.

Thank you for your time!

I selected realistic in 3D view but all bars look like rust (all bars are brown). I would like to have same colors as in 2D layout? Do I have to manually adjust something or can it be done all at once?
