    Symbology in drawing views

    Product(s): OpenBuildings Designer
    Version(s): Connect Edition 
    Area: Drawing Views

    Problem:

    I am not able to see the correct symbology in drawing views. Where are symbology settings defined for drawing views? 

    Solution:

    Drawing symbology settings are derived from the part & family assigned to the elements. To check the settings open the Family/Part Editor and then from the Parts View dropdown select Drawing Symbology. Check whether the Section and F&R attribute toggles are ticked. If they are not ticked then the symbology will not be according to the Parts View. 

    Toggle them on and then reload the drawing and you should see the correct symbology.
