Hi there,
I've created various 3d linestyles (as mesh objects)* and are trying to link them to my feature definitions so that they can show up in 3d once I apply my template drops. I've went through the whole process from:
but somehow these linestyles doesn't pull through in my 3d view.
*The reason for using mesh objects when creating 3d linestyles is when we drop the linestyles, the mesh objects can easily be consumed by other software, i.e. AutoCad, Navisworks, etc.
Here's some snapshot which could give some extra reference:
1. Snapshot (in ORD 2019 release 1) of two gaurdrails catering for both directions - The one selected is BARR-EZYG WBeam RHS
2. Snapshot illustrating my element template, feature symb and 3d line (in the 3d view) of BARR-EZYG WBeam RHS. Note that it just appears as a solid black line.
3. Snapshot illustrating my feature definition in the explorer and the feature def in the template
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Ian,
I created many 3d linestyles in v8 SS4 using meshes. When I upgraded to ORD the linestyles wouldn't work. ORD has some major issues with linestyles. Seems 3d linestyles need to be defined with solids. Also, when I have tried to create custom linestyles in ORD, I have had a lot of trouble with stroke patterns, point etc.. not saving changes . Basicly the ORD custom linestyle editor is really glitchy . I posted this issue about a year ago , never heard anything. Good luck
Defect 975070: 3D Custom Line Style Containing Mesh Not Displaying If Located in DGNLib or DGN file.
Try keeping your 3d linestyle in a rsc and don't import into a dgnlib until this is resolved.
