objects in elevation

[Patrick M]

TBH, this is kind of embarassing. At this point, I'd have hoped we'd be past these "work-arounds"... But maybe a tip for other people running into this issue:

Sink outline not showing up in Elevation:
copy/paste the sink into the elevation

conslidate lines and fills

apply outline to fill

make fill transparent

drag over 3d sink with missing outline

Forever drawing sink and basin outlines...

Could you check if the sink is not inside the wall?   

On the left site, the sink is in front of the wall, on the right side it is in the wall....

[Lingwisyer]

Unless you built the object as a "window, door or opening" it would not be able to tell if it is inside the wall or not. Objects generally do not know anything about their surroundings.

It is the way that particular object is scripted.

Because it is curved, there are no hard lines defining the edges.

There will be a masking code in the script that automatically generates the edge of the curve when the radius of that curve is perpendicular to the elevation view.

Usually this would be sufficient to allow you to see an edge of the curve from any angle, I am guessing the side view is fine.

But in this particular case the basin probably has straight sides that merge with the curve just before it become a perpendicular radius.

Hence the line never shows.

Then if the back edge is slightly inside the wall as cuba suggests, you will never see that edge either.

The pedestal is fine because it is in front of the wall and you can see that perpendicular edge.
