Missing Solid Silhouette Curve

[rmorgan890]

Nx 7.5

I have a missing solid silhouette curve in a drawing view created from exploded model view. Although it doesn't appear in the view, I can right click in the area where the curve should be and it will select it.

Any ideas?....Thanks

Try changing your display tolerance for your Drawing view. Also make sure that the part with the missing profile is not interfering with some other Component/Body in the model.

"display tolerance for your Drawing view"....under the General Tab in the View Style window I've tried changing the tolerance up and down with know luck. I assume that's the same thing.

"know luck"...oops

Zoom in on the view on the drawing such that the view covers the graphics area. Then Edit - Style - on the view and set the tolerance to 0. ( zero)
Then OK.
NX will consider 0 a unreasonable value and find a more suitable tolerance. In most cases this value is good for the view, if the tolerance is the case.
You will get different tolerance values depending on the zoom factor . (!) The more zoom the finer the tolerance.

Does the missing silhouette appear in other views ? I.e is it a specific face that doesn't generate the silhouette ?
Check the model Examine Geometry - run all tests on this specific face. Also run Information - Object and select the face.
in the listing window, ( I assume that the face is a B- Surface) check if the face has very many patches in u and v and also what continuity between the patches. ( C0 seams ?)
