Complex Profiles and Hotlinking

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi,

In our project we have used the complex profile manager to create a beam, (which is repeated throughout the pln) and it has a set material. We have since changed the material and the complex profile was updated so that all beams have the same material. The beams look fine in this pln.
We have the hotlinked this pln into another pln, and some of the beams (not all of them) have reverted back to the previous material.

Any ideas why? They look fine in the original pln!

Thanks,
Emily

You need to have the identical sets of attributes such as materials in all files that you have linked.
Use attribute manager to update the material in this other file.
