drawing style to include 3D solids in GA drawings

Anonymous
Not applicable

I realize AS software is "geared" toward detail/fabrication drawings, however we are using AS to do our engineering/design drawings. 

Often I will have to use basic 3D solids to show my geometry. Especially when working with foundations (as AS has limited concrete commands) Example: my turn down edge for a foundation is a 3D solid (attached)

 

I have had to create/modify the GA drawings styles to show things the way I want them to be presented. HOWEVER, I cannot get the 3D solids to show up in my GA plan or section cuts. Below is a screen shot of my foundation plan drawing style. I cannot figure out what I need to add/change to my object presentation to get 3D solids to show up. Any tips?  (attached)drawing styledrawing style3d solids3d solids

Thank you for looking into this. I can see the 3D solids in a 3D view but I am not able to see the solids represented in my cut views (Plan or Sections views)

Can you get those same objects to show up in a plan?

solid is not only solid   , for  instens "all" will all so  be soild and every thing els
