mvrcad Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Hi all this has been happening for a month or two and ive been wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows a fix please. i insert a block into my 3d model. the block is visible in 2d wireframe then i change the shading to anything else, like realistic or 3d hidden, and the item is not visible. i have found a way around this by exploding the block, then unexploding and then for some reason it is visible. cheers Marcus Edited November 29, 2012 by mvrcad subscribed to thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Are you able to view the block, which you are inserting, in the source drawing using those visualstyles? Perhaps those visualstyles were not available in the original drawing? Does it display in CONCEPTUAL or SHADED visual styles without exploding it?
