Isometric Slope and Direction Symbols Wrong Direction

Hello All,

 

We are working on a large project which consists of a large amount of pulled pipe and bends.

When running isometrics the falls and flow arrows are appearing in the wrong direction in many cases.

 

We had initial problems with pulled pipe where Plant 3D would not split an isometric on a long run, so we have had to create a separate line number for each sheet of the line. That workaround works - but the falls and flow arrows is really a major problem which shouldn't be happening.

 

We are running:

 

Product version: I052.1126 AutoCAD Plant 3D 2017.1 Update

Built on: N.212.0.0 AutoCAD 2017.1 Update

 

See below isometric showing the problem - yellow elevations are correct though corresponding arrows and falls are incorrectly displayed.

 

See attached IsoConfig.xml to see if that help.

I have tested this with the standard Plant 3D Isometric Templates and have the same issue.

 

Thanks

Dear @Anonymous ,

 

Flow direction arrows are used manually on the pipeline. Make sure that the flow direction arrow points in the right direction.

Flow arrows are placed correctly in model.

Thought doesn't address the issue of the fall as described in my original post.

 

Any other insights here?

Ok my error here, as I edited the flow arrow symbol, I broke the flip action and has to add the arrow back to the selection set.

 

Might be useful for someone who also comes across this!
