Intersection lines not showing in shaded view

Unread post by eruchirapsl »

Hi all,
Just a simple one. I am struggling with a viewing issue in SW. My structure is a pipe Wye branch where three cones of pipes intersect each other and are traced by three steel girder beams along the interaction lines. As shown in the figure(shaded view with edges 3D view), I want those intersection lines marked to be as an edge showing as a black outline. How to do this trick?

Your lines are not showing due to your steel girder crashing through the pipes. Need to to move the girder to outside edge or give pipes a relieve cut for the girder to fit down through.

Part with pipe cut to allow for insertion of girder and showing intersection lines in black.

Good luck!

IIRC It depends also on the graphic settings.

Tools > Options > System Options > Performance > Enhanced graphics

When we switched to SW2022 I had a user that noticed the edges were not shown for a body penetrating another.
It turned out 2021 was showing the edges anyway and the enhanced graphcis was the culprit.
