lauripit Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Is there a way to show dashed edges while using shaded graphics. When I put mouse on top of viewport it shows the edges like this. This is basically just what I want (check the picture below). If dashed edges is not possible how about plain line edges? Or something similiar to point out the shape of 3D object (solid in this case). Quote Link to comment

EAlexander Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I don't think you can do this in Shaded view if you are just out and about flying around on a layer. For viewports, you could set the BACKGROUND render mode to Shaded (and turn off draw edges) and then for the FOREGROUND render mode you could use Dashed Hidden Line. 2 Quote Link to comment

You can get solid raster edges in Shaded mode here: But Hidden Line vector edges, either solid or with dashes, can only be combined with Shaded mode when using Viewports as Evan describes. 1 Quote Link to comment
DanJansenson Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 If it's a static render, you could also Convert Copy To Lines with Hidden Line Render, and then assign the resulting lines to a dashed line. Render the original view in Shaded Render, and then place the HLR/dashed lines version directly on top. 1 Quote Link to comment

What do you mean? I thought this was general (Home->General->Rendering) Vectorworks forum? 1 Quote Link to comment
