Symbol Showing on Ortho Cut

On all of our 1" pipe that ends facing downward, an "S" like symbol apears.  I thought it was a pipe continuation, but I turned those off in the ortho creation screen.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Shane

Looks like the cut piece symbol but with a problem with scale. Can you list it and see?

 

The cut piece symbol should be on pipes going up, not down too.

There doesn't appear to be a scaling issue, what do you think?

Thanks for your help,

What version of Plant 3D are you using? Extension or service packs?

Is this project imperial, metric, mixed metric?

Do you have access to Plant 3D on another computer or are there other users there who can check this on their machine?

Is the pipe from a default, out-of-the-box spec or from something else?

If you start a new test project from default settings, and run pipe and test, do you get same results?

Plant 3D 2016 SP2.
Metric project, I've had a couple of my coworkers try with the same result every time. It's a custom spec but was derived from the default spec, the pipe is unchanged.
I've tried creating a test project and copied the drawings to project, this also resulted in the same problem.
Thanks for your help,

Hi Shane,

 

I'm glad we were able to look at this together. Turns out that generating orthos at 1:1 (full size) triggered this odd output.  So the solution in this case seems to be to use a scale like 1/8" = 1'-0" in generating orthos.

 

I understand you're double-checking that. Please let us know here if you confirm that solution. 

 

If my reply was helpful, please give a "Kudos" or click the "Accept as Solution" button below (or both).

Generating the ortho at a scale similar to 1/8"=1'-0" has solved our problem. The symbol is no longer showing up in any of our ortho cuts.

Thank you very much for your help!
