3d modeling, all sorts of lines in Concept visual style

Hi.

I got a little exp. at 3d drawing in autocad. To brush up my knowledge i try to make an basketballcourd in 3d (so most of that will be the baskets at this moment ).

When want to see how it looks with al the "pretty colors" i go to the "Conceptual Visual Style". It shows all sorts of line that maybe be the "wireframe" for the drawing, but its not pretty to look at.

How can i get rid of these ugly lines ?

You can also see the bolds through the solid (its called like that ?), so that can't be right...

At school i drew 3d in my "free time", but i always have this problem. any option how to make it more like it should be ?

hi,

what do you mean ugly lines?

the lines in the basket rim?

im just a newbee in 3d, and im not sure if isolines command might

help. but anyway you can try it.

Well, beside the lines in the rim, i also can see THROUGH the mounting where i see the 'upper right' screw and i see all the lines that shouldn't be visable.

Sadly i don't have autocad installed at the moment, just got an new computer and still setting it up, but when i get the chance i will try that command out.

Are the lines you see in the backboard construction lines (i.e. - not part of your solid)?

What are the specs on your graphics card?

At that time i had taken that screenshot i had an ATI 3850, but i seen this a few years back when i did 3d on school compters who mostly had crappy graphics card (some maybe onboard)

Must be some setting i guess, can't look so wrong on that many computers.

And no, those lines are not what i drew.

What do the settings look like in your visual style manager for conceptual? Specifically the settings for isolines and hidden line removal.

I'm not sure if this will help in visual styles but it does correct the problem when doing a "HIDE"
