3d Document

Anonymous

Ok, I give up.
What’s the secrete combination to 3d Document?
I’m in 3d view (open GL) with shading on in View> 3d view mode.
I’ve think I’ve pressed every option and combination of
options in; (Document> 3d Document> 3d Document settings) to get 3d doc to be as 3d open GL view to no avail.
Even tried Internal Engine, (that’s ugly), and get wire frame there also.

I keep getting a wire frame for 3d Doc which of course I can change around, but that is not what I want.
Yet I think I’ve succeeded at this before?
Read page 192 in manual.
Searched AC help but I’m just not getting it.
Is there a combination lock(s) to this one I’ve somehow turned off?

Whats wrong with wire frame? I do all my 3D docs in wire frame - if they are part of a set of drawings they need to be wire frame so they can be copied and printed easily. Coloured drawings in plans are a little weird if you ask me.

I wonder if you mean hidden line, rather than wireframe, which can be very hard to read if there is a lot going on in the document......
