Hidden Line Drawing

Anonymous
Not applicable
Has anyone been able to produce a 3-D Perspective view of a model in hidden line which is of a crisp vector quality? I would like a simple Hidden Line model, when you view your model in hidden line it is very 'sketchy' and doesn't look very crisp. I have tried to use the SKETCH rendering engine and have produced better hidden lines; but still it is not as good as a hidden line drawing produced in FormZ or 3DStudio. Any suggestions? Thank you!

PS: i have attached what i have been able to produce.

You are seeing an optical illusion caused by your display. Vectors are vectors. For fatter vectors, increase display line weight:

3D Window Settings> Internal Engine>Display>Line Weight>Fatter.


Save image as "Archicad 2D Lines"

Select option : Scaled Drawing

Also turn off shadow contours in 3D window settings.
