ABD SS5 - 08.11.09.747Drawing Extractions - Generate Centerlines
Has anyone ever seen a mix up with centerline linestyles upon extracting a file? The image below shows an example of our firewall linestyles. One diamond represents a 1HR wall and two diamonds represents a 2HR wall.
If I start a new file, they extract fine. On one problem file, when extracting the plan with generate centerlines in the cut plane tab, the linetypes are reversed - one diamond for 2HR and two diamonds for 1HR. All I can think of that is different is I changed the family/part settings after the walls were created in the file. I tried reapplying the part settings and the information shows everything is fine. However, the extration result does not.
Sounds like that BV is looking UP and not down so reversed. Try re-cutting the BV and throw the other away

The image is only an example. The cut direction is not my issue. The wall with a 1Hr rated linestyle is cutting with a 2Hr linestyle value and vice versa. I can't reproduce it on a new file.

Mmates, have you try using Drawing Views instead of Drawing Extractions?

Yes, they are not working for us and I'll post in a separate discussion the reasons why.
@Tom, Yes. I thought the same thing and tried deleting the extraction file early on. The centerlines go to a different level than the wall outlines and the linestyle is not ByLevel. I also tried creating a new blank master model and referenced in the 3D110.dgn (interior walls). I set up a new extraction definition and group model generating centerlines and the results were more baffling. The 1HR wall centerlines were coming out with “acid” linestyles.
I did find a workaround though.
Thank you all for your help.
