HLJ Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) Hi all, just wondering if this is possible - is there a way I can turn on the hatch background colour in hidden line view? I've gone into the applied hatches to give them all a background colour, but my viewport with hidden line view just shows as black & white (aside from annotations). Black & white only isn't turned on, and I can't see any settings anywhere to see hatch background fills. This is what I see (artistic renderworks background renderer for shadows, hidden line foreground renderer or linework): But the clients want a coloured elevation, something like this (previous project by colleagues, drawn in 2D): I'd really rather not have to manually apply colours as annotations in the viewport! Thanks! Edit: in case I'm just doing it wrong, this is how I've applied the colour background fill to hatches: Edited November 17, 2022 by HLJ 1 Quote Link to comment
heavy manners Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I'm also having this exact trouble and I would appreciate any help. Since I want to use materials in my project for obvious reasons I cannot use the shaded polygon render mode to get the coloured effect described above (believe me I've tried a million things), and so I thought I could turn to this "workaround" but alas! only the line colour of the hatch changes, not the fill colour. Would this be too hard to fix in an upcoming service pack? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
TaylorK Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 The work around for this if you want to fully color'd drawing is to render the background out as shaded without textures on, and have hidden line as the forground. But I agree would be nice to have selective background fills on the hiddenline only drawings as for example we like to shade concrete in our typical elevations. Quote Link to comment
