Multiline Fill Colour

Microstation Connect Version 10.16.01.56

Why can't we turn of the fill colour in a multiline. It used to be that the multi line was placed on the active level along with the fill colour and you turn this level off the the colour fill was turned off leaving all the other parts to the multiline on.  Now seems you have turn off all the levels within the multiline in order for the colour to be turned off. I have attached a tiypical multiline in a drawing file.

Many thanks in advance

  • your file the  fill level works as  intended in v8i  for me.. in your user preferences check you can turn off active level.. by default  you cant turn off active level... so if its the active level it wont turn off.. change your prefes and  you can turn off active level

    Thanks for your reply. It works okay in  V8i but does not seem to work in Connect. The multi line is placed on level A-Ss-25-G-ExtWallType01 so is not the always the active layer.

    There seems to have been a change in the way the colour fill operates between the two versions

  • If it is fine in V8i, but not in CONNECT, I would file a Service Ticket with Support.

    They'll either be able to file a bug/regression, tell you a workaround, or say it works as designed...but either way, you will have registered with them that there is an issue and they might have a fix.

    could you elaborate  is it just for multilines  or is it all objects with fill..?

    I stopped using  multiline in mstn  25+ years ago  when I found it doesnt work with curves and arcs so not very versatile... and I believe even in CE it still doesn' t work with arcs and curves ( I haven' t   bothered to check ) even though  users have been asking for that since day one and every new edition of Mstn we ask for it to be included  but as usual it seems be  low priority to Bentley development  teams(s)..

    It is very high on their list and it is called OpenRoads. ;)  Sooo... nope it will not likely be implemented in Mstn anytime soon.
