ac11 - Complex profile mouldings don't appear in elevation v

Robert Nichols

The only time I can get these profiles to register in a section/elevation view is when they bisect the section line at 90 degrees. If the complex profiles are parallel to the section line (orthographic elevation) or even crossing it at an angle other than 90, there is NO indication at all that an object exists in the space.

Is this well known? Am I forgetting to flip the right switch?

Thanks.

Could you post a screenshot to illustrate the problem?

Is it the Interior Elevation you are talking about?

Could the view blocking wall setting mentioned in this thread have something to do with it?

When you drew your complex profile fill, where does it sit relative to the 0,0 point of the Complex Profile Editor window?

When I first started using Complex Profiles I had a problem with my Profiles not showing up in my Sections but it was due to the fact they were appearing a couple of storeys above the storey I was cutting a Section through.

Below is a typical cornice scenario, which maybe of some help.




And this is one of the things that is annoying about Complex Profiles. That and curves aren't curves but I suppose you can't have everything
