Hello,
For some strange reason I am having hatch lines on the pipe fittings.
It is not something that comes from the Family, because all fittings have the same issue.
What could the reason be.
Thank you in advance,
Robert
Is this for all views or just one?
Have you checked V/G settings and/or object styles?
Hi Rob, As far as I am aware nothing has changed with the V/G and object styles.
When changing the Display style too, for example "hidden line" it is also there.
I just also noticed that it changes along with the scale....

I think a material might be being applied in the object styles.
it might be the material assigned to the fittings?
Can you upload the model for us to look at?

Check your View Filters..... (VG > Filters tab)
When I was playing in my testing file the only thing that effected all those things was a View Filter that was set to filter Pipe Fittings.

There are no filters applied. I can remove them when creating a filter, but then the fittings change color to another then the material color.
If i bring in a pipe fitting family from one of my models, as soon as the fitting is placed it gets the same fill pattern.
When I set the system color scheme for pipes to None, or change the category the fill legend is using (i.e. from System Type to System Name) the fill pattern is not there.
When I apply the Out-of-the-Box Mechanical view template it does not correct it either.
I'll play with it more later this morning when I have some time, unless someone else figures it out before then :-).

I think I found something, I removed the view template and created a new floorplan view, and now it is back to normal.
So I created a new view template, and it is working properly again. Still I don't have a clue what happends, that's a bit frustrating....
I have added various system color schemes for the piping, when including these color schemes in the view template the lines are back. So is must be something with the color schemes.
interesting... when i tried a different VT's the hatching still appeared. that's why i said earlier...
When I apply the Out-of-the-Box Mechanical view template it does not correct it either.
When I made a new view with no template, i did notice the hatching wasn't there. but i was too focused on trying to figure out why it was there LOL. you'll also notice its not there in a 3D view. which kept pointing me to the Color scheme settings since you cant assign a Color scheme/legend to a 3D view.

When changing the highlighter fill width and setting the switch to contour fill hiogher then the diameter this happens.... So it looks like the hatch is responding the same way a color fill does. Seems strange because to my limited knowledge there is no scheme that controls this.
Hey,
If you copy the fitting to another file, it also maintains that hatch? I would do this test, just to know if the problem has some relation with the view, the template or some file configuration.
