Then save this view as PMK (plotmaker)-Edges only<BR /> Import the drawing in the plotmaker sheet and from its settings choose Attribute update rules/custom pens and colors.<BR /> Edit pens from the attributes and select all pens.<BR /> Give them a grey color.<BR /> <BR /> HTH<BR /> <BR /> Petros Mon, 15 Mar 2004 16:38:43 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Cover-sheet-ghost-image-3D/m-p/9913#M4262 Petros Ioannou 2004-03-15T16:38:43Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Cover-sheet-ghost-image-3D/m-p/9914#M4263 <BLOCKQUOTE>Tom wrote:<BR />I'd like to put a 3D line drawing of the project on the cover sheet.

World wide help, it's great.

I am unable to complete the generation of the window. I let it run about 10 minutes.<BR /> (internal engine to view the model) I've tried hidden line, and shading selection both. The hidden line crashed, shading runs on and on. Process is running at 95% CPU usage. Is there some other setting that should be off to make the generation simpler?<BR /> <BR /> Thanks Mon, 15 Mar 2004 19:15:29 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Cover-sheet-ghost-image-3D/m-p/9916#M4265 Tom Krowka 2004-03-15T19:15:29Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Cover-sheet-ghost-image-3D/m-p/9917#M4266 Check that vectorial shadows are off (mage/3D window settings)-<BR /> Also try to make your model "lighter"-By turning off layers that don't appear in your scene (probably furniture if you are viewing an exterior etc)<BR /> 10 minutes is quite a lot<BR /> <BR /> Petros Mon, 15 Mar 2004 20:54:56 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Cover-sheet-ghost-image-3D/m-p/9917#M4266 Petros Ioannou 2004-03-15T20:54:56Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Cover-sheet-ghost-image-3D/m-p/9918#M4267 That did the trick.
