Beams Showing As Thin Line

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi,

Attached is a cross sectional view. As you can see the `I` beams are showing going in/out of the page but the ones going horizontally only show as a single line ( on the beams centre line ).  Is there a reason for this?  Is there a setting I can alter to get the full beam profile to be seen?

Thanks

Darren

double check the level of detail for the view...it may be set to coarse...set it to medium or fine and the beams should show properly.

Thanks for the reply, it isn't that idea.  What I have found is that the beam of the top floor is thin lined and the others are thick.  No beam along the horizontal is cut in the sectional view so I'm a bit confused as to the different thickness especially as they are the same beam type.

is there a view template override?

is there an element graphic override?

can you copy/paste the beams to a new project file to see if it looks the same?

is the Thin Line command turned on?

What is the scale of the section view?...sometimes having Thin Lines command off makes the view look strange

Can you make the screenshot larger and zoom in closer to the problem area?

For me that worked! Had my beams as filled lines instead of seing the volumes, thank you!
