Hide vertices 3D Script from imported mesh

jc4d — Mon, 14 Oct 2019 07:40:38 GMT

Hi all,

I have created a custom object in C4D and exported to archicad22, the problem I have is when I see the object in 3D view all the vertices lines are visible, and I can't find a way to hide them in the 3D script.
I tried converting the object into Morph, but the amount of line code is huge compared with this.
Is there a way to do it?

Cheers,
Juan

make a morph out of it...and resave as gdl (the fastest)

It is faster even the amount of line code is bigger?

It is faster in that you can edit the individual sub-elements (lines) of the morph and hide just the ones you want to.
Or you can select the entire morph and hide all the lines in one go and maybe then show just a few that you need for clarity.
You do this to the morph in 3D before you save it as an object again.

You can do this with the masking codes in your original script (don't ask me which ones), but it is a real pain (almost impossible in fact) to figure out with line is which if you want to control individual lines.
I am not sure if there is an overall mask - maybe something to do with the 'BODY' command at the end.
I vaguely remember playing around with this before morphs came along - I haven't bothered since.
