3D View Mode anomaly

Conrado Dominguez — Tue, 30 May 2023 11:11:23 GMT

Attached is a 3D view of same area, working with MEP.
The View is in Shading Mode, however, the larger pipes remain showing in Wireframe fashion. All the pipes are properly connected to each other and are all part of the same MEP System

How is it possible for this to occur, intentionally or accidentally?

No matter what I check: individual parameters, MEP Sytems settings, layers, etc. I cannot show all the pipes in shading mode.

Conrado:

The only reason I can see is that the layer the wireframe pipes are assigned to has been set to 3D View Display > Wireframe rather than Solid Model, you can check this in the 3rd column in the right pane of the Layers Settings dialog box.

As usual, your suggestion was correct.
I never use that Layers Dialog option before, I must have clicked on it accidentally.

Allways a pleasure getting answers from Washington these days
