Feature Line Vertices Selection Indicator Constantly Displaying When Exited from Elevation Edit Commands.

[paul.struch]

Hey All,

This is an issue that only arises intermittently, and is not consistent between all drawings. The drawing in question has not been subject to any errors, has been regularly audited/purged/cleaned up over the course of the computation. I am only running one site, the feature line is free of crossing segments etc. 

The issue: while the elevation editing commands for feature lines are inactive, the green vertex editor indicators are shown (whether or not the elevation editor pane is open or not). They are annotative, and thus scale at different zoom levels. Thus, moving from a planar view in XY to, say a SW Isometric, yields this:

I know its a minor issue, and a regen/regenall will re-scale the vertex indicators and make them less of a nuisance. BUT HOW CAN I STOP THIS! ;). The closest comparison is the blue bounding polygon that encloses a volume surface until you close the volume analysis pane. I thought maybe toggling the elevation editor pane and closing it may thus fix this, given the two functions run ultimately in the same base pane, but no love. Speaking of panes...what a pain.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @paul.struch!

We usually bypass this by using the _REGEN command, as you've mentioned in the description. 

Many options can determine this view: large coordinates, specific objects in a drawing, survey data, feature line style settings, graphics card performance and high resolution (or not) inside Civil 3D settings. 

You can try to overcome it by changing the mentioned settings; however, there is no guarantee this won't happen again. 

I would suggest starting by changing Feature Line Style settings, then checking the coordinate in the drawing, changing units from, e.g. [mm] to [m] or something similar, change the site for that feature line to None. 

And after that, if none of the above helps, check the graphics settings for the drawing. 

I hope it can help you!
