franky Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 In a viewport, how do I make edges which are hidden behind other parts of the model appear dashed or dotted whilst the directly visible edges remain solid? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 are we talking 3D-models or 2D-drawings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Ok, have moved your thread to the 3D-modelling part and hope you get some help here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 The system variable is VSOBSCUREDEDGES. Set it to 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEANT Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Also, to change the style of the hidden lines, look at the OBSCUREDLTYPE system variable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Example of dashed lines for obscured edges using plain AutoCAD. System variable settings as noted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 franky: First. Your're welcomed. Second. You don't have to wait to offer help. I'm doing some sheetrock work this weekend at my house. Come over early and bring your tools. I'll put a pot of coffee on and set out some nice warm biscuits. Don't be late. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franky Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 haha sounds good i'll hop on the Learjet. Look for Franky's Worldwide On Demand Drywall Inc. I'll expect some pretty good drawings of the job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
