Larry_Sweeney Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 When I want to show a sloped concrete slab, I make a 3D solid showing the slope. Then when doing a rendering "things" look correct, but when I do a cross section of the sloped slab the outline of the slab doesn't show. Is there a way to get the sloped 3D solid to show in a cross section? I guess this goes for any 3D solid. I know I can just draw a polyline, but on more complicated 3D solid this really gets to be a real pain and very time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plannedRITE Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Chief sees faces of 3d objects so that's normal behavior. That's the reason that the foundation, walls, and slab are all empty too. I sure hope that Chief will allow us to slope floors sooner than later...this has been requested for many, many years. The new Poche tool in x16 beta would fix this beautifully if the floors could slope. (per what Kevin said below, if you only want to show the outline then make sure the layer is on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution kMoquin Posted May 24 Solution Share Posted May 24 Larry, Are you sure the layer is on? 3D solid outlines show in sections for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_Sweeney Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 Kevin...................My bad. The layers for my 3D solids were on, but when I went through all my layers, lo and behold, my "cross section lines" were turn off. Somehow, from the "get go" of this project, that layer must have been turned off. I was sure I didn't use to have this problem. Nothing to blame but me and "old mind".  Thanks for giving me a "heads up" on double checking layers. Have a great day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
