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

  • Isn't this just like a multi line? But with a multi line you can have whatever infill colour you need and not just blue.
  • Hi Clive,
    With Multi-Lines you are limited to linear elements. Arcs and curves aren't supported with Multi-lines, as Nasir mentioned. My method works with curves and arcs, as well as lines.

    You can use any colors you want when you define the Display styles. In my example I showed two different color combinations, red with blue infill and yellow with green infill.
