Custom section not being displayed in 3D view

Anonymous — Wed, 18 Mar 2015 13:48:43 GMT

Hi everyone,

I've recently gotten used to creating custom sections using the section definition. It works well however when I tried to create a solid steel bar with an angle attached to it (See attached .sec and .png file), it doesn't show up on any 3D views. I even tried checking the object properties in the 3D model space and it shows no properties assigned to that member. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and provide a workable solution to it?

Apparently I am unable to attach a .sec file. Let me know if anyone needs it.

Hi Rafal,

See attached .rtd file. Since I am unable to upload a .sec file, please dowload it from here: http://www.filedropper.com/diagonalreinforcementa

The section name is "Ch A 1x1x1"

You don't save file to database.

Thank you napooil.

It was an easy step that probably slipped off my mind.
