Shape Handles in 3D and 2D

[BigPicture045]

I am making a wall trim family that I want to have adjustments in both 2D and 3D.

Using reference planes I have the handles only in 2D Elevation, but I also need and adjuster in 3D Mode.

Use Ref. Lines instead of Planes

I tried that. Not sure why it is not showing the shape handles with the reference lines in either 3D or 2D. Family Attached.

I see them in the family file, but not in the project file.

So, what you are saying is that 3D Shape Handles don't show in Project?  And you're using Ref. Lines instead of Ref. Planes? And they are Instance Parameters?  

Hmm?  Post the Family.

Clean up the extent of ref lines.

Yes, I have ref lines which has an instance para and then the geometry is constrained to the lines. Note sure what I am doing wrong.

They show in 3D on my end.

It works fine in a new project file, but not within my current project file which I am unable to share. Can you think of a reason the handles would now show? 

I cannot see them in 3D or 2D. I can see shape handles for elements such as walls.

Turn on Reference Lines for that view.

[barthbradley]

So, you already had the REF. LINES in the beginning?  This was only about the Shape Handles not showing up in 3D?

...guess my input was all for nothing.

I used the reference lines in the family. In order to see the grips in a 3D view, turn on reference lines in that view. Thanks!
