Hi All,
Currently I'm changing the detail styles within OpenBuildings. I have gone though most of the current forum posts trying to work out my problem with no avail.
I've followed most of the instructions that Paul had posted in this thread. I didn't make new files as I just edited the existing files (after making a backup), so that I didn't need to add an extra layer of complexity to what I'm trying to do.
https://communities.bentley.com/products/building/building_analysis___design/f/aecosim-speedikon-forum/84608/detailing-symbol-styles
I've gone into the DetailSymbolStyles.dgnlib and added our company detail styles.
Then I've gone into the DrawingSeed_Structural.dgnlib
Added a company detailing symbol style,
Once i had done this I went and updated the detail style on the views to have the new detail style
Tested a couple sections and details within the dnglib and they all worked as expected.
Now when I start a new drawing within a project none of these changes come through.
I've even tried removing the DrawingSeed_Structural file from the DGNLIB folder to make sure that there wasn't another one hidding somewhere. And as expected all the structural detail styles disappear meaning that i'm at least using the correct file. While in the test file i can go into the Detailing style and the symbols i've added to the DetailingSymbolStyles.dgnlib come though.
Would someone be able to shed some light as to whats going wrong, or what I've done wrong please. I've been going around in circles trying to work out whats going wrong

My first thought would be to check if the correct DetailSymbolStyles.dgnlib is picked up while you are in the test file.
I've done the same with the DetailSymbolStyles.dgnlib as I did with the DrawingSeed_Structural.dgnlib. I removed it from its folder, opened test file and all the detail symbols broke. Replace the file and the symbols returned.
and after replacing the DetailSymbolStyles.dgnlib, opening the dgnlib itself and your detailing symbol style, SC Standard Project, is still there? Because going from your 3rd snapshot, whatever symbol style supposed to be in the same dgnlib as the Building Section and Default style, is not there.
That is correct, the SC Standard Project style doesn't come through in the Test file. All of the SC cell are able to be selected through the properties section though
but you would need the SC Standard Project symbol style to be defined and saved within the dgnlib for it to work. Looking at the snapshot you just posted, there seems to be only 2 detailing symbol styles defined in the dgnlib picked up by the project config. Where as you would expected to see 3 detailing symbol styles. While in your test file, hover over any of the detailing symbol styles, the full path to the dgnlib should display. Your custom SC Standard Project symbol style need to be defined and saved in that dgnlib.
