Polyline Solid in 3D?

[PinkPixie]

Did a quick search of the forum and didn't seem to find what I was looking for. If I have a polyline solid, have verified that it is a polyline solid, it is on the default CAD layer, that layer is set to display in 3D, what could be a reason why that polyline solid would not show up in a 3D view? (I'm still struggling with the layers/layer sets concept, need to look over those training videos again!)

It's not converted to some thing that is 3D..Still just cad lines..
Your looking for it on the wrong floor...
Wrong floor would be my guess..

I would check its elevation or height above floor. It could be at a height that places it inside of another object in 3D or it may be inside of the fllor system.

Many times I'v created a solid on one floor (usually on the 2nd fl) Like a shower pan, and it ends up on the 1st floor, I just copy & paste with fixed point back to 2nd floor.

Thanks, you were right, wrong floor. Not quite sure how it got that way, but it's all fixed up now!

Your welcome
Think slabs are more reliable..

I think the default for polysolids is height=0 (which places it on the first floor in most cases) therefore, if you want it to be on the second floor, you need to set a height and a thickness to suit your needs.

I don't think it should be this way. It should be based on the floor that you place it on. Just my 2 cents worth.

Dan,
Been there seen that, worked it out. No Post.

If you're setting the polyline solid on the second floor.
Set the height @ the actual floor elevation, i.e., 108" or
some-such (Or maybe "0" if it's the first floor). Seems that if I carried a piece of furniture upstairs,
and set in on the floor, it just wouldn't seem 9 ft high.
Hmmmmm......
