    Question 3D Polyline Custom Linetype Display

    Hello everyone,
    We created a linetype with the letter E in it for an electrical line --E--
    We cannot get 3D polylines to display this properly in Paperspace.
    It does display properly if we change the 3D Polyline to a Feature Line in Civil 3D.
    Is there a setting to make this happen without making it a Feature Line?
    Thanks
    Bill

    You need to clarify what the issue is. Is it not displaying properly or is it not displaying at all like a continuous linetype?

    I've seen squished linetypes (with 3D polylines I believe) which I know was elevation related as the line followed the elevations between points and drew in a bad way. If that's the case you'd have to flatten your lines to smooth it out.

    If it's just a solid line run the linetype3dplineon command and it should turn on.

    A 3D Polyline cannot display linetypes. Civil 3D Feature Lines are not the same thing.

    I don't know when they introduced the linetype3dplineon/linetype3dplineoff commands, but 2016 and above have it.

    Edit: I did do some looking into though, I think it was just regular lines that I saw the issue with in the past though.
