Displaying flange edges on I-Beam drawings

[jigruss01]

Hi there, I'm having trouble while creating drawings of I-beams.

By default, the flange edge isn't displayed on side views, which looks bad  and it is confusing for anyone reviewing the drawing. I tried turning on tangent edges, but due to the curved nature of the flanges, multiple lines are generated, which is worse.

Is there a way to display a single, clean line along the edge of the flange? I'm utilizing Frame Generator with standard content center profiles.

@jigruss01 Make sure your hidden lines option is not active

This does not solve the issue.

It's because of all tangent edge on side view:

You might need to create new library and make the edge not tangent.

@jigruss01 @Frederick_Law Yeah, that looks like an "S" Beam, so it has that angled flange, where you wouldn't see that with a "W" Beam
