My "Box Tool" Objects Disappearing

[PFHB]

Using 9.3 I did a cross section then went into cad mode and did a decorative piece over my garage door and using the same "Box tools" I made a flower box under a window,

They looked good, but when I went to do a Full Overview the objects are not there,

When I go back to view them again in “Cross Section” view, they are also gone, the flowers I put into the flower box are still there.

Am I missing a step so they show in all views or should I being using a different tool?

take a look in your "Layers" dialogue and in 3-D preffrences to see if they are turned off.

When you draw objects using the Box tool in an elevation, you are only drawing a 2D can box - not a 3D object.
2D cad objects drawn in elevation will not show as a 3D object in an overview or in a floor plan.

Thanks David,
I checked and all that could be checked are checked.

Thanks Glen,
Is there a tool I can use and It will show in 3D?

thanks Again

If you have V9, checkout the Polyline Solid tool. This tool will let you draw a polyline shaped object in an elevation view that will create a 3D object so it will show in all views.

Other tools you can use are the soffit tool, the counter top tool, or the slab tool. Each of these will create a 3D object which will also show in all views.

Thanks Dermot,

I will use this tool and thanks for the feedback.

PS, when are the advanced training cd's coming out?
