When i convert a 3d solid object to MTS i cannot get any view if i choose phong or gouraud in the method tab the model to sheet opens up blank. Anybody have any ideas?

Hi Jason I drew it in 3d mode and selected to model to sheet which if i am correct does it not go to 2d for MTS. The background is white the object color is black , when i switch the method box to (precise curves slower) i get my drawing back. The draw boxes are there. I am using Shark LT build 1016. I have two installs one on Windows 10 and Windows 7

Thanks Jim

Thanks jlb It weird i can start a new file make three different solid shapes of different sizes they all appear the way they should in the phong MTS. Then i make a solid with the lathe solid tool and two views show up (top and front) I then make a solid using a circle extrude solid, only top view shows up. What do you mean by enlarging the view, zoom in or change the scale?

Attached is the drawing with a MTS. Tim i have down loaded a trial version of LT v9 so far i like it. The glitch with the feet inches is no longer there in windows 10.I tried the model to sheet issue in v9 3 out of the 4 views are showing up.
When i upgraded Viacad version 6 to Shark Lt v8 i seemed to have a number of issues importing parts from the older version into Shark Lt. Am i correct in thinking there will no issues mixing parts from V8 into V9? I look forward to your reply

Thank Jim
