Coordination Discipline: Missing Centerlines for Round Pipes/Ducts

[goldack]

Hi everyone,

I’d like to use the Coordination discipline because it displays all “general models” with color fill, which makes the view much clearer overall, and the pipe insulation also looks good.

The issue is: in Coordination, the pipe axis/centerline is missing for all round pipes and round ducts.

If I switch the discipline to Mechanical (Ventilation), the centerlines for round pipes/ducts show up correctly.
But then the pipe insulation doesn’t look good, and any transparency setting for the insulation also affects the pipe itself (as you can see in the screenshot).
That makes the insulation display look messy.

Is the only option to turn off insulation visibility and only tag it?

Has anyone had the same issue, or does anyone know how to fix it?

The centerline should show up under Coordination when the Model Display is set to wireframe or when transparency of pipes is set >0. When it's set to hidden line, the outside of the pipe conceals the centerline of the pipe. Using the mechanical or plumbing discipline overrides this, making all pipes transparent to show the centerline and any hidden lines below.
