VectorWorker22 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Hello, I am looking to achieve the following render style - is it possible with Vectorworks (or getting a style close to it) ? I have tried several possible render styles, including the artistic ones or sketch, but whatever I choose the truss almost always looks like a simple smooth rectangle... Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee JustinVH Posted January 26, 2023 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 26, 2023 @VectorWorker22It looks like the Rigging-Truss-Simplified class is turned on in your document. That class is a simple extruded shape so that you can see what area a truss occupies but not slowing your drawing down with all the webbing. Turning off this class will reveal the truss underneath, I can see the 4 main chords on the left side of your drawing. 2 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Dave Donley Posted January 26, 2023 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 26, 2023 Regarding the look of the rendering, Shaded with Draw Edges on would look very close to your example. Crank up ambient light value to wash out the shading so it looks like hidden line. 1 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted January 26, 2023 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 26, 2023 Also turn off textures and color in the shaded view options. 2 Quote Link to comment
VectorWorker22 Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Thanks to all of you for your quick and on-point replies. @JustinVH indeed, the simplified truss class was blocking the detailed rendering of the truss. I did not know about this, thanks ! @Dave Donley Edit : Found it - thanks ! @jcogdell I disabled them, thanks for the tip ! Edited February 2, 2023 by VectorWorker22 Quote Link to comment
