Linestyle with fill between two lines

I would like some ideas on how to create a linestyle containing two lines in the color red, with fill in the color blue.  This will be used in a mapping environment to create the roads.  I do have it in ArcGIS but unable to create in MicroStation.  Any suggestions?

  • It is a bit clunky but it can be done. Corners and sharp angles are a problem.

    I created a Stroke, Point & Compound to accomplish this.

    A Blue shape (1x12) for the inserted Symbol (using RGB values, so the Color Table would not affect it.)

    Used the inserted Symbols Color (Blue).

    Created 2 offset lines, Line Code 0 (+6 -6 for Road Width (12)) in the Compound.

    I made other adjustments to make it all work the best I could, so you are going to have to look at the components to see what settings I made. I have attached the BlueRd.rsc.

    Set your active Wt. & Color to the Lines Color & Wt.

    0550.BlueRd.rsc

  • Hi, George!

    I at least got to a point where I have a linestyle with two different colors, thank you!

    My concern is however with the point component I have all these single individual elements on my line. Are the any method out the to get rid of the segmented point elements?

    Thank you for your assistance!

    You could make the Symbol used in the Point component longer I made it 12y by 1x. You could adjust the stroke and Point Symbol to be 10 (or more) instead of 1 (which I used) and make the symbol 12x10 so every 10 it would have a point/grip/handle but the curves and joints suffer.
    Custom Line Styles in MicroStation can do some amazing things (3D, Parallel Line work, etc.) but there are a few limitations. You found one. I have tried a couple other ideas but haven't come up with another, better way to do it (yet!). Maybe someone will have another idea to solve this.
