not all elements show vertical section

[Menno de Vries]

When i make a vertical section of a technical room with pipe, valves and pumps only the standard global metric inline pump will not show up in all of the display sets.

somebody knows why this happends ?

The way I do it with equipment is to actually make an MvBlock. It's extra work, yes.... but anytime you're in an Elevation View it displays exactly how you want.

See here for reference: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4989089/Imag...ns_Details.pdf

Everything was made in AutoCAD MEP that you see. Chiller, expansion tank, air separator, valves, pipes, fittings, etc. The difference is with the equipment as an MvBlock, I'm able to use a 2D block that I manually edit and fine tune so when I switch to an Elevation View then it looks like I want.

Here's some reference in the ACA user guide: http://exchange.autodesk.com/autocad...bffa4-8000.htm

Thanks for the answer,
But i understand that not all standard elements in autocad are mvparts with different views.
Because I use i standard pump.

I didn't say MvPart, I said MvBlock, there's a difference.

Most of the equipment you saw in the PDF were just standard 3D Solids that I created from scratch, from the submittal data direct from the manufacturer. In other words, it's a "standard" piece of equipment like you're saying.
