Hello

My flexduct has been shaded in the past when I wanted to use them. Now I only get the single-line flex duct.

All the options I use, circle, curve, flex, flex2, etc. will only give me single line and not shaded.

How can I get the shaded flex back?

Thanks

Check your detail level, you will probably need to set it to medium or fine

yes, I've checked all the detail and visual styles in the view. Still don't know what the problem could be. I've done flex duct with shade many times. Any other suggestions?

Not sure if this is the shaded flex you are referring to but if you set the flex pattern to undefined and turn off the centreline under flex ducts you do get a shaded style.  2013 does appear different to 2012 where it used to appear segmented.

You also need to be on fine or medium.

My testing had the flex as rectangular which is why I did not get the segmented duct which does happen when set as round.

First of all let me say, when I do a section view of my flexduct it shows as shaded. Plan view does not.  Any ideas?????

Now for our discussion.............

Interesting. When I turned off the centerline "flex" in visibility graphics and set the option to undefined, the flex duct disappears in plan view but not in section view. aughhhhhhhh!!!!!!
