Issues with Pipe Network on Structures not showing on cross-sections. I ensured the sample lines are going through the structure (centered), I ensure that the style is displaying and on a layer that is turn on/thawed. I tried using display as boundary and display as block but no structures are showing up in my cross-sections. The one that brought this to my attention is SW-9 where HW-9 and JB-9 are not showing on the sample line for Alignment (Centerline) Toll Mill Ct, SLG-3 station 8+61.3 in the Theys Z-File.dwg, the file should be attached. the pipe is shown but the structure is not. we currently have a block there but not one that is dynamic with what is on the plan view. I would really like to have it where the structure shows the boundary but had issues with this before and had to switch to block, I would like to get something that shows all structures boundary shapes in plan, profile, section, and model.

 

For Blantons Creek, I was working on it for a long time and able to see the structure but when I added a label to it on the sectional view, the next day when I opened it up I no longer could view the structure nor the label in the cross section.

https://autode.sk/2OfQX0r - Carolina Preserves

 

the files are:

Blantons Creek (See sectional view Blantons Creek Drive Sta 0+40)

Carolina Preserves (See profile Pro Storm and YI-5 is a polyline because I cannot get the structure to show)

Theys (see Toll Mill Ct, SLG-3 Sta 8+61.3 again this is just polylines)

 

If it works (the structure shows) on your computer, can I get the specs of the computer it works on (CPU, GPU, Ram, Power Supply, Motherboard, etc), below you will see my station specs.

Drawing may be corrupt. Have you tried auditing it?  You may want to try deleting the structure and pipe that aren't showing and insert them again.

It seems like every drawing I have is corrupt but no one can tell me how to fix it nor can anyone tell me how to prevent these files from getting corrupt. I use audit all the time and I did delete the pipes and re-created them and on some of these files it works, but not all the time. I guess my question is how do I stop corrupting my files, I use a clean template every time I start a project.

Is there a solution to this problem of structures disappearing from section views? My pipes are visible but all my structures have vanished from all 3 of my sample line groups. Only way to get structures to reappear is to swap the part but then if I swap it back to what it should be it disappears again. I have 100+ structures in this drawing with labels already attached and positioned so to have to delete this pipe network and then reimport it is such a waste of time. No to mention I have multiple structure styles and when you import land XML of pipe network it puts all pipes and structures on 1 style. Another flaw I'm seeing is when you have pipes with less than 12" diameter and you import the land XML of said pipe network those pipes convert to a 12" diameter pipe. Confused how AutoCAD has such troubles with pipe networks in the year 2023...

 

This happened about a month ago with a completely separate drawing. Luckily I only had a few structures so I just swapped them so something similar and called them out with text as to what they were supposed to be. Need an answer if there's one available for this issue.

I'm having similar issues. Can't swap out parts, having to remove them and re-create with the new.  2024 and 2023 are doing it, and yes I'm auditing and recovering etc with no help.  Working on a large subdivision and this will be a major PIA.

Having the same exact problem in 2025.2.3. It appears there is no fix for this since no one has responded in 2 yrs. This is unacceptable @Autodesk.

Hope someone can help,

Thanks,

Chris Daniels
