How to remove the frame around trees?

[Frank Harper]

Does anyone know, how to get rid off that frame of the trees in 3D?

Thanks.

Hey there, first of all, you're posting in the German Forum (maybe @Claudius can move this topic!), secondly: You can use a GO since AC 25 for that (hiding contour lines).

You may already know this, but the outline will not show in the rendering, provided you use one of the Physical renderers.

A veeery good question.. No - You cant get rid of it as far as i know.

thumb Workaround:  Make a new penparameter in the GDL - and give it a light colored pen - then insert this in the 3D-Script (nearly on its end) on this place and save it on a new name - to get a librarypart of You own - without altering the original. Then insert this new librarypart and play with it...

I think if we want to modify the script 3D of the object then I will do like this

!!!!Old script
!!! edge 1, 2, 0, 0, 0
!!! edge 2, 3, 0, 0, 0
!!! edge 3, 4, 0, 0, 0
!!! edge 4, 1, 0, 0, 0

!!!!New script
edge 1, 2, 0, 0, 1
edge 2, 3, 0, 0, 1
edge 3, 4, 0, 0, 1
edge 4, 1, 0, 0, 1

Thats it! Easy!

You could, of course, give it an new parametername to switch it on/off it from the user-interface.

Thank You!

Trun off "Show Contours" in 3D Styles.

Thanks for the numerous answers... have now created an override technique for this tree, and displayed the "contour lines" here!

The trees "outline" contour lines are on Pen 4. So - although not ideal - you can retain the contours on the building and reduce the impact of the tree dark rectangle by changing Pen 4 to White or Light Grey.
