Line bodies are drawn using their cross section attribute, if one exists. If the display line bodies with alignment option is on, both alignment triad and solid facet representation will be shown together. In this case, the solid facet representation will be drawn in a transparent color so that the alignment triads can be seen underneath it. When Cross Section Solids are visible, the line body edges and their solid representations are displayed by body color, regardless of the edge display setting.

The solid display for line body edges is done by sweeping the cross section along the edge. The sweep may fail to be displayed properly if the cross section dimensions are so large that the sweep becomes self-intersecting. In this case, the edge is drawn without a solid facet representation.
