If you attended the August Visualization SIG I showed how to create your own 3D Line Styles. The recording of this session has been posted to the LEARN Server http://learn.bentley.com/app/Public/ViewLearningPathDetails?lpId=111389 the documentation and example exercise can be found here ftp.bentley.com/visualization/3DLineStyles.zip
Enjoy!

Hi PaulI'd like to accomplish several things:
1) Create a 3D linestyle that repeats a 3D smart solid of a bridge parapet unit for our national roads authority
2) Include a start and end 'end block' unit at either end of the line style
3) Allow for, if possible, a clipped/ partial parapet unit based on the actual length of the bridge
Currently I have accomplished all three of these using the workflow outlined for the 3D guardrail linestyle, except that the smart solids are coming in only as a wireframe of the solid and not actual solids.
To the left hand side of the figure in my post is how the 3D linestyle is supposed to look (those are the 3D smart solids I used to create the 3D linestyle), but on the right is how it comes out when I use my custom linestyle.
I thought that the problem might be because of the partial clipping of the parapet units, so I removed that functionality from the linestyle, but it did not fix the issue.
I'd appreciate any guidance on what I may be doing wrong.
Kind Regards
Could you share the linestyle definition and a sample file where they are being placed as wireframe, if so please use link below:

When placed as a linestyle solids arent placed but rather a converted mesh representation perhaps a view attribute is displaying the mesh as wireframe.
Hi DavidI've uploaded the creation dgn (with the original creation elements and a segment of line drawn with the line style) and the rsc file.
