perspective rendering in hiddenline

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am trying to get a perspective view in hiddenline format,
this will be in all in black and white and I want straight lines,

I can use plotmaker to do that import the 3d generated view and it will be fine, but I want to correct some of the lines before I print, so I use photoshop for the imported pdf or jpeg format.
I do corrections, I save the file as jpeg or tiff anything, but when I import back to plotmaker, I loose quality.
If I save as pdf, I can not open in plotmaker. (I need to open in plotmaker because I have some templates there)

So here is what I can not do.
I want some kind of vector graphics format, after i can make touch up revisions, so it will be a single straight line, pdf would be fine, nut that doesn't work with plotmaker, jpeg is ok but it is only raster, poor quality.
I need something like floor plan drawings but in 3d window.

Anybody can help?
Anyfile format that you know work with photoshop and plotmaker and a vector file at the same time?

thanks in advance

well that is for plotmaker I presume,
I can't open 2dl archicad 2d lines in photoshop.
Before printing I want to edit some in photosop. I need a vector graphics file format like pdf.
but I cannot open pdf in plotmaker.

so if 2dl supports both photoshop and plotmaker,
can you explain me the work flow that I should follow

thank you

Open the 2dl in a new instance of Archicad for editing vectors.
