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?

  • Ron,

    Thank you, a very interesting idea!

    All the Bentley applications unfortunately requires Linestyles and not providing the ability to select display styles.

    Regards,

    Max
  • Great idea Ron!
    I would not have thought of that option. FYI there is a setting in the User Preferences (Workspace > Preferences > Reference > Allow Editing of Self Referencing) that might be useful to the individual users also.
    Thanks for sharing that idea!
    You should also be able to get the same type of effect using level Override (Weight & color) for the levels of self referenced files instead of Display Styles. Just another option.

  • Hi Max,

    I came up with a simple method to "fake" multi-color linestyles using Display Styles and self-referencing.

    Here's a short video that explains exactly how to do it.

    Cheers,

    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.

  • 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!
