Custom 3d line styles not displaying correctly as 3d corridor features

Hi there,

I've created various 3d linestyles (as mesh objects)* and are trying to link them to my feature definitions so that they can show up in 3d once I apply my template drops. I've went through the whole process from:

3d Line style creation;
Ensure MS_SYMBRSRC config variable targets custom resource files;
Element template definition;
Feature symbology creation;
Feature definition creation;
Adding the feature definitions to the relevant template points;
Applying the template;
Ensure linestyles view attribute is switched on;

but somehow these linestyles doesn't pull through in my 3d view.

*The reason for using mesh objects when creating 3d linestyles is when we drop the linestyles, the mesh objects can easily be consumed by other software, i.e. AutoCad, Navisworks, etc.

Here's some snapshot which could give some extra reference:

1. Snapshot (in ORD 2019 release 1) of two gaurdrails catering for both directions - The one selected is BARR-EZYG WBeam RHS

2. Snapshot illustrating my element template, feature symb and 3d line (in the 3d view) of BARR-EZYG WBeam RHS. Note that it just appears as a solid black line.

3. Snapshot illustrating my feature definition in the explorer and the feature def in the template

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
