Outline only in curved parts

[Tommy Kyler 0]

Several higher end 3D packages support renderings that only show the outline of curved parts, and not all the segments used to make up the part. We print our drawings in

"Final Hidden Line" mode and our curved walls appear solid black. The workaround of "converting to lines" and erasing is too time consuming.

Yeah, that would be great. Other programs (form-z?) have an option to not display lines when the angle between the planes is over a certain number of degrees (user selectable). Really useful.

Thank you for your suggestion. We here at Nemetschek North America are always attentive to customer suggestions. Over the years the bulk of all improvements to the MiniCad and VectorWorks programs have come from customer requests.

This will be entered into our wish list and evaluated by our design team as a potential enhancement for the future.

Again, we thank you for your input and continued patronage.
