Sketch Problem

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 11:55:39 GMT

What would cause the problem shown below. No matter what type of sketch we do, the same lines are always missing. The materials of intersecting items are all different. We've tried rotating the building a little bit. Nothing seems to fix it. What other settings can we check?

Check to make sure that "Contours" are set to "Best" in "3D Window Settings".

The contours were set to "draft" so I changed it to "best". The result was even worse. Anything else?

Seems to me like your sketch does only the shadows, not the building. Try reducing the pixel count of the final image, and apply materials with 3D hatch on all surfaces.

I had a similar problem, that resolved itself after I replaced the Toyota from the standard library with the Golf ... so Sketch works best with European cars! 😉

Seriously, it seems that the Sketch engine works better with transparency off and 3D hatching.
