Error with tube & pipe runs?

I noticed in the tree of my tube and pipe runs, two of the run names are red. All others are black. Is this indicating an error in these runs? I'm not getting any error messages and everything seems to run fine. I'm just curious I guess. I've attached a picture of the tree. Thanks in advance for your help.

I have seen this many times over the years, and I frankly don't know what it means.  I used to believe it meant SOMETHING needed fixing.  Maybe the route is underconstrained, or ... something!  Most attempts to get rid of it usually made things worse, so I've taken the old "if it ain't broke..." approach.

 

I would love it, however, if someone form Adesk would give us thier insight on what the red route really means.

I would think the same thing as well, but with that said, I usually see error symbols in front of the run as well along with a constant reminder that this needed to be fixed.  If all of your runs look fins and you are not getting these error messages, then I would not worry about it.  Smiley Happy

The red pipe runs indicate that you have a missing style.

It might be missing the custom styles or custom XML information.

Does that help you get started?

I'm not too sure about the styles. I don't change any of those settings when I make runs. Most of the runs will be fine, but a few will end up being red without me doing anything different.

How can the pipe route even get created or populated if the style is missing?  It seems the entire thing would error out and go blank.  These red routes that we are seeing work just fine and dandy... they're just red.  And the next route in the same run, using the same style... might be normal black color.  It seems random.

Bob,

I am not sure how that makes sense.  But with that said, I do believe that I have encountered creating a new styles in the pipe runs and the runs did stick while the style was lost.  I am not understanding this and don't get it, but it almost appears as if this is a glitch in the software if this is the case.
