jmu7rf Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Does anyone know how to show hidden lines correctly in viewports? I have a 3D object, in an elevation view I'd like to show hidden lines. When I manipulate the visual styles to show dashed lines I still have several hidden lines instead of (1) hidden line to represent the inside wall of a HSS or hidden leg of angle?? Anyone have a solution? Thanks, -Jordan Quote
ReMark Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Maybe this is what you are referring to? VSOBSCUREDEDGES 0=Off 1=On (hidden lines displayed) Quote
jmu7rf Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 ReMark, Thanks for the reply, I've adjusted VSOBSCUREDEDGES & visual style in an attempt to turn the inside of HSS or angle that should be hidden to a hidden line bUT it turns multiple lines to hidden. I've recently started using BASEVIEW and this produces the desired outcome. Unfortunately we're now X ref our models into an "ortho" drawing and you can't use Base view with x refs. Thoughts and or suggestions? There has to be a way to show 1 hidden line instead of showing all lines of the radius on a 3d model in a VP in paper space?? Thanks Quote
ReMark Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 You want to isolate ONE hidden line in a 3D model? Can't think of a method at the moment although that may be due to the fact I have had only one cup of coffee so far. Another nine cups and I should be fully up to speed. Quote
halam Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Die You try setvars Obscuredlinetype (2 for hidden) Obscuredcolor (1 for red) In the right visual style setting? Quote
ReMark Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Wouldn't those variables be global just like any other affecting the look of a 3D model? The OP says he is only concerned with ONE hidden line. Quote
jmu7rf Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 I'll post pictures to better show what I'm describing shortly. I'm basically looking to achieve a view that looks like BASE VIEW but within a viewport. Take a HSS for example, I'd like to have 1 hidden line for the inside wall instead of multiple hidden lines showing the radius. Quote
ReMark Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I didn't design the program so you'll have to talk to management. Quote
