      I'm guessing that the view attributes are set to Filled Hidden Line or similar. Check either in that model or in the DV definition.

      You can try using the keyin CONVERT BREP to convert the element to a SmartSolid. I'm not sure whether that will work for all elements, but it should do the trick in most cases.

    • Re: PCS doors - How do you change the line style of the hinge/swing indicator?

      Steve Cocchi
      Steve Cocchi
      Exactly. Attach a part & family attribute to the applicable 2D symbol(s) within PCS. That way they'll inherit those attributes when placed in Architecture. Assuming the same families and parts are available, of course. :)

      "This worked - didn't work - and now does work in the current version." Correct. The PAZ Edit In Place function did not work correctly in BA 08.11.05.xx, but was resolved in 08.11.07.xx.

      As I understand it, the archroles.cfg file simply provides "out of the box" values, since you can't have previously selected anything at that point. Once you have selected different parts, those MRU values should be the values retained by each tool.
