I have covered porch with 10x10 columns, outline pens for plan, section and 3d set to the same heavy black.
They all appear in plan and 3d, NO apperant outline pen in 3d, I can live with that, I don't like it but I can live with it. However when just the columns are selected and displayed in the 3d window the proper outline pen is displayed, as it should be.
The greater and more troubling thing is the columns in my elevations/sections, where there is anything behind them, are not outlined at all!
I have vectoral shadows set on, and the cast shadows are there!
I have also checked and even reset {modified} my layer combos to insure that the columns are"on".
A short reminder that I am working in ver 7. Any ideas, I have presentations to make early this week and I can work around this if I have to, but I'd like to know WHY this is hapening.
Hey Kim,
Nope, square columns.
I"ll give it a try posting both the info box and a cropped elevation with some columns selected. You'll see that the selection dots indicate the way the columns are being "seen". Note the lack of outline pen on the "inside" columns. They all have the same settings, verified and reverified.
Puzzling to say the least.
It appears that I cannot attach more than one attachment at a time........................more in a second......................

David,
That was it. I cut one of the low walls and checked it and all was well. To compensate I used the slab tool to model the wall's replacement.
So the intersections priorities of posts and walls, I thought I had that dialed in but..................walls @ 10, columns @ 12, beams @ 7. I worked on understanding this because when I first began to model the "holes" in walls gave me fits until I figured out how to adjust the priorites.
I take it I still have something wrong, or can't you do what I was trying here in ver 7?
Regardless thank you.

That would be WAY past bedtime for this dog......................
The shadows were a non factor. David's call on the wall, I'm thinking, is the governing factor. But how and why?
"Only the Shadow knows", sorry couldn't resist.
check this out.................................the low wall on the right is now a slab, all the rest are still walls, the corner column works as desired the, the two captured in the slab as well while the rest are "invisable".
