Bent Line on POLYBEAMS (circular pipes)

[mdmcano]

Hello again, I would like to ask if there's a way to eliminate the line the bent line when im doing a wallrail done using a 3dpoly line converted by the wallrial macro. The drawing style doesn't have an option for this or I just dont know where to find it. Please help 🙂

That isn't possible as far as I know. However, I am more concerned with all the tesselation lines on the drawing. These really annoy me and should not be there and hopefully one day it will be fixed... just don't hold your breath.

Following on from my previous. Using the wall macro creates multiple lines. For me the neatest option is to just use pipes and join. Refer image.

They say this is an Autocad issue, maybe so but Advance Steel is integrated with Autocad so is is an AS issue too. This also applies to importing of special parts, which do not enhance the drawing with the poor support for curved elements.

Thank for the reply ginvent! may I request a screencast when you modeled that polybeam pipe? The one using radial bends

Screencast as requested.

Hi I may have found a solution or a workaround rather. Try ticking this property in the Positioning tab: Preserve continuity. then update the detail.

here's the result in my drawing

The problem is when the rail polybeam is inside the railing macro, this property is greyed out.
