Silvercloak Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Hi, One problem I've having is getting my fittings to appear when the drawing is plotted. I can't get convertlineworktomaskblock to mask any plan view pipes. Nor does wipeout seem to help me. I've created a Valve style and tried to use part mask to mask the pipe out. Right now I'm getting this; When what I actually want is more like this; I really do NOT want to go back to just using polylines and blocks. Please tell me there's a solution to this.

BIGAL Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Draw order can be quite critical when using wipeout I had underlying, then mask, then new over top in mask area. From memory do backwards draworder top 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvercloak Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 That's the first thing I tried. It hasn't made a difference. I'm absolutely baffled as to why this isn't working. I know it CAN work because I had Null structures that were breaking the pipe previously that I used to turn off when I didn't need to see them. Now even they aren't breaking the pipe with part mask. I'm completely baffled as to what changed to make this pipe seemingly indestructible. Silvercloak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLW210 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 This seems to be a Civil 3D issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried to limit what I show and stripped the file down so I don't post anything proprietary from my company. However this should suffice to show what I'm dealing with right now. Thanks Steven, Silvercloak Pipe Example.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Worked for me just did draworder. kept wipeout outline so can see. Make sure your wipe out is on a plot on layer. Edited January 10, 2020 by BIGAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvercloak Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Is that structure masking or just a wipeout separate from the structure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Separate wipeout, the valve is a Aecc object I haven't used so if a block maybe check wipeout draw order. I bedited PWBEGV and added a wipeout, then draw order to back, save new block, seems to have worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
