AC10 Complex Profile Problem

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm editing a complex profile and my Vertical Stretch lines won't show up -- even when the show/hide eye is open. What setting am I missing?

Did you draw them yet?

I already drew the fills. By accident I discovered that I can grab the Vertical Stretch lines even though they are invisible. Even more strange, on a test profile that I created last week the Veritical Stretch lines show up! Why for one profile, but not for others?

[Edit]

I finally figured it out. I have to grab them while they are invisible and assign a color to them because they are set to 1, but the color is "missing". Why would they have a non-functioning pen 1 assigned to them in the first place?

Jay:

Next time this occurs you might want to check which pen set is in use: look at Pens & Colors (Model Views) to make sure that you are not using an unusual pen set. If you cannot switch here to your standard pen set, you can use the Attribute Manager to import a pen set from another project.

I've had this problem as well. The default ArchiCAD pen set is active. Have to "Select All" to find the Stretch Lines and change their pen so they appear...
