Towel Ring 01 11....2D plan view not showing....

Anonymous

Just wondering if any of you people have the same output...
I replaced the whole 2d script with the old project2 3,270,2 command...just to temporarily fix this issue.

GS team - another item to add on your to do list


note: just did the AC 1210 update this morning.

Works here. Maybe your pen is set to white, or it is under another element in the stacking order, or ...?

Just a note: I mentioned 'Towel Ring' ...not the 'Towel Bar'.

I already considered the pens.... its definitely not the pens.

My bad.

With the Towel Ring object, the problem is in the 2D Script:

POLY2_B{2} 5, gs_cont_pen,gs_fill_pen, gs_back_pen,
0, 0, 0,
0,0,3,
0,-di*0.2,3,
di,-di*0.2,3,
di,0,3,
0,0,3

where the gs_cont_pen should be the frame_fill argument (for all of the POLY_B{2} commands), if this is changed to 3 (j1 (1): contour only + j2 (2): fill only, see page 120 of the AC11 GDL Reference Guide) the 2D will appear as expected (though I have not tested with all the other parameter options). The writer of this part had the project2 3,270,2 command commented out (probably for checking his 2d work against the 3D part) at the top of the 2D Script: while this will give you a top down 2D view of the 3D of the part, there is a performance hit (probably not noticeable with just a few instances of this part), so the 2D commands are preferable to the project2 route.

Are you the first one to use this part, how did no one else see (not see) this?
