Good afternoon,
I've placed a template point for guiderail in my roadway template, and set the feature definition of the template point to what I believe to be the correct feature: Linear/Template Points/Guardrail and Barrier/TL_Guardrail_Single_Sided_R.
In the Dynamic Sections view, the guiderail appears. However, in the 3D model, only a line along my hinge point appears in the model, corresponding to where that template point is. The 3D guiderail does not show up.
Attached are screenshots of the library feature definition and feature symbology properties for the guardrail point. I think it all looks correct?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you,
Larry
Try setting "create template geometry" to true.

Thank you for the response, Marcus. Unfortunately, I am unable to change that setting from false to true, it doesn't let me edit it. Is there a different place where I can edit that?
I tried that, and it just shows up as a solid line, just like it's currently doing in my 3d model based off my template. FYI see below, attached is how it appears in the model. Just a line showing up corresponding to the guide rail point in my template. I checked and all levels are on.
Just to confirm, do you have a 3D linestyle defined in your feature symbology?
It appears to be set up correctly. Here is what the feature symbology property box looks like for the guiderail template point.
And here's what the element template property box looks like for the guardrail element
Looks to be exactly the same set up as what I've seen in videos posted on line by bentley on the guardrail feature definitions.
The 3D Element Template is set to Default. That should point to your 3D linestyle.
Thanks for the response, Jan. Could you clarify further? In the feature symbology properties, the default element template is set to Modeling\Template Points\Guardrail and Barrier\Guardrail_Single_Sided_R.
And then in the element template properties, I expand folders to get to Modeling\Template Points\Guardrail and Barrier, and then click on the template named "Guardrail_Single_Sided_R" (which the feature symbology was pointing to), and the properties for that show the line style set us "Guardrail Flared End_R".
Am I missing something here?
To show a 3D linestyle in the model, you need to define what line to show. The setting for this is in the 3D Element Template.I marked the area in your screenshot.
As an example a screenshot from our own workspace settings showing the guardrail symbology.
Thanks for the explanation. I went into the symbology properties for the dgn, and changed the 3D element template to point to the definition in the modeling\template library, etc....And unfortunately, still just shows up as a line.
So then I clicked on the line itself and opened up the element properties, and the linestyle is set to 0. And when I open the drop down to search for the linestyle "Guardrail Flared End_R" (which is what the element template says the linestyle should be), that linestyle does not appear in the drop down box. So I wonder if the issue is that this linestyle actually doesn't exist within the workspace? And that's why it's defaulting to a solid line?
