symbol molding segments displayed

Greetings all.

Created a symbol molding from an 18" long molding polyline and Chief is displaying the 18" segments on the cabinet and ceiling. Followed the tutorial video. Gotta be something simple I'm just overlooking.

Your using a 3d molding symbol in vector view , they look like that, but not in render view.

Yes, Perry has the answer - but CA should fix this.  A repeated 3D Molding Symbol should not show the connections if the surfaces are coplanar.  It's not how we would draw it so Chief shouldn't draw it that way either.

AHA! I checked the render view and can see you are correct.

Chief X5 and X6 is my first experience with CAD of any type, and only for the last few months.

 

..... It's not how we would draw it so Chief shouldn't draw it that way either.

 

I find myself thinking this quite often.

 

Thank you both.

OTOH, we wouldn't draw each segment of a dentil molding either - probably just a few at the start and end on one section and then note that this is typical.
