Rendering

[ErichR]

1. Better hidden line rendering, e.g. produce a line where planes intersect.

2. Make the Render Bitmap tool work in modes other than Renderworks, ESPECIALLY the Hidden Line Rendering. In architecture the plain ole hidden line rendering works for most applications before a final rendering is needed. Think of the need to draw elevations. The Hidden Line mode just doesn't work very well, and in construction documents we definitly don't want a full rendering of the elevations. And (as I've seen more than once in other threads) you can't leave a document in a dynamic state, and certainly one that contains millions of hidden lines!

Try the "Copy convert To Lines" menu item. It creates a group of editable lines from the hidden line rendering of the selected objects.

Yes, that works! How did anyone figure that out?

So, part of the wish stands: In a Hidden Line Rendering, it would be very useful if a line were created where two planes intersect.
