    Red face Pipe Elbow Not displaying correctly

    Hello All,
    So...I've created a PVC Pipe Elbow that works great. But when a pipe is bending "away" (top view - Pipe going down, or South View - Pipe goingn north), the arc of the elbow outline in "Fine" view, appears dashed.
    I'm clueless as to why it is doing this.
    I've included the .rfa file, lookup table (uploaded .txt, convert to .csv), and a screenshot of what's going on.

    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thank you!
    Marcus

    I'm not sure you can do anything about this. I don't know, maybe you could add symbolic lines in the family editor to depict the elbow in plan and elevation. Linework shouldn't fade out in any view, as far as I know.

    Check you view range and try adjusting the cut plane. This is just a guess

    I see this type of thing from time to time with various families. The only commonality I have found is that it happens when the 2D curves are "curving away" from view in the 3rd dimension. I haven't figured out a way to resolve it other than simply drafing over it... which is usually too troublesome to bother.

    Hopefully, there is some easy button you can push to fix it. Anyone?
