Planar Shapes in 3D: i.e. Arc without fill

GDL Enthusiast — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 11:30:19 GMT

Hi,

I would like to generate simple 3D lines using the Planar Shapes, but oddly they always seem to come prefilled. I have attached a screen shot to show how it automatically fills the shapes.

Here is a sample 3D Script:

ARC 0.02, 90, 0 ADD 0.05, 0, 0 CIRCLE 0.02 ADD 0.03, 0, 0 RECT 0.02, 0.02

Is there a way to have them not filled, just a simple ARC line?

Many thanks, Matt

Use "model wire" beforehand.

It's a bit counterintuitive, but these commands have no flag for surface generation, so that's the way!
