3d Document and 3d View Integration

[MASz]

Allow 3d documents and 3d views to be integrated. Currently, 3d documents can be overlaid on top of 3d views to give vectorized contours. This also solves the issue of textures not being supported in 3d documents.

This however requires the following:

• A separate 3d document and a separate 3d view with matching aspect ratio
• Frame size must be the same on the layout
• Contours disabled on the 3d view
• Uniform transparent fill on the 3d document

A number of complications can arise from this setup. A more robust system would allow you to make the best of both 3d documents and views rather than having to pick between them.

Hi, basically what you are asking for is the possibility to show textures in 3D documents similar to what is now possible in sections/eleavations?

If yes, there is already a wish for that.

[MASz]

Yes and no. This is a different way of thinking about the problem and it is using technology that already exists in the program. Furthermore, the surface fills in sections/elevations have their own limitations as compared to 3d - such as with transparency in textures.
