Ghost radaii

[BIGMIKE09281946]

I am unable to get my 3D support bar radii to conform to the original outline when I go poly line or union. As you can see, their is a straight line{s] where there should be a curve. The screen PIC is wide because I have a two monitor display.

I think it's just a display issue, or perhaps something to do with the method used to create the solid. I don't see it when I open the drawing.

 

If it bugs you, you may try selecting your brace and then CTRL-Clicking that face. For me, it shows almost as if it was originally a circle that was extruded. You could try deleting that extrusion and using a .25 fillet to make the radius, then is should show up as a 3D face when you use subobject selection, but I don't know if that will change the ghosted line segment.

A fellow AutoCAD drafter in mid america has the same issue as I. I have tried several procedures, including the radius. What bugs me is the fact that if it were a display issue, there would be the same issue as on the left. I will try the op as you proffered. Brace?

There must be something I am not getting. In 2D I can fillet the lower curve to 0.25, the upper curve to 0.4375; but the lower fillet creates a poly line with the fillet being a flat line,; and the upper fillet creates a poly line with two flat surfaces. I'm going to bed.

ok so when i open this file and 3d orbit, i cant see what the problem is. The arc's are there and everything like you say they should be

I don't understand what the problem is?

What is your viewres settting? set to 2000)

What is your facetres setting? (set to 10)

Maybe you are after dispsilh (turn off 0)

or -shademode?

The problem is that line(s) are being displayed that don't represent anything "real" and shouldn't be there.

 

If I'm not mistaken, VIEWRES and FACETRES are both stored in the drawing, and I don't see the ghost lines when I open the drawing.

 

The radius in that area is an extrusion when selected via Subobject selection, but when deleting it, it turns into a chamfer, that appears to match the location of the ghost line. Is that actually related to the ghost line, I dunno, but neither do I understand why deleting the extrusion (fillet) results in a chamfer in the first place?

instead of deleting it, subtract from the bar/strut

I have tried that! And am now moving on to richer fortunes. Thanks all.
