Isometric Issues: Elbow Disconnecting

[Mj_Dan]

Hi everyone,

I need urgent assistance with my Isometrics.

I have a line in my model that originates from a storage tank at 45 degrees to the WCS and turns downwards at 90 degrees and turns Eastwards at another 90 degrees (Image 1). This line is properly connected without any leaks.

The issue:

When I generate the Iso, the elbow (green in image 1) comes out disconnected as seen in Image 2.

What is the cause of this and how can I resolve it?

Thank you for your help always.

Daniel

Hi Mj,

I think I have a very similar or the same problem. Please see following snapshot. Could you please share how did you resolve this issue. This problem happens when the elbow is not in direction with coordination axis. 

Thank you,

Does it work ok if you bring the model closer to 0,0?

Move your model close to 0,0

Refer to my earlier posts to see links to articles and videos that will help you.

@Tomislav.Golubovic It works fine when the model is close to 0,0
