Particular members not changing line weight via level manager

HI,

I've just started using 3D modeling on AECOsim and using the "clip volume"  tool to produce elevations and section.

While most of the level colour and weight can be changed via the level manager but some members don't as show on the picture below:

I can changes its line weight  to the orange beam in the picture above in the cut back zone but  where it has been cut the member line weight has not be changed,

similar in the C purlins above.

I have a few questions:

Is this a default setting in the programme when some members are to keep there line weight when they are cut through? and can I change this setting? and if so can someone advice me on how to?

Thanks

  • Difference between MicroStation and AECOsim is that AECOsim supports Family and Parts. The control of line weights and line colour, for Building specific objects, is controlled in the Dataset Explorer which can be accessed by going to Building Designer -> Family & Parts -> Single Parts
  • I understand this but as shown in the picture I provided, I changed the orange beam line weight and it changed as expected where the beam is in the "cut back" zone but where the clip volume cut through the orange beam the line weight did not change as expect even though these two members belong to the same parts and families. also if i go into Reference Presentation>clip volume settings and turn off the display at "cut" the member with is at the cut location isnt shown and 'the member rest of the beam in the cut back zone comes to the front and displays the same line weight as expected via the level manager but in doing this i loss other level which i need to display. Can you explain why this happens and can i change this setting or can you prove anyway to get around this issue.

    Thanks for your time.

    If you require any more information let me know.
