Hidden Line help

[Iainy1961]

Would anyone have some advice on how to make the hidden line drawing look like something please? I would like the rear backdrop to have some definition and I can;t seem to get a hatch fill into the floor.   Thanks, Iain

Is that a curtain/softgoods object? Increase the visual fullness.

You wont be able to get shading out of Hidden line - it is just....lines.

 

If you look at the Object info pallet for your Viewport - there is background render and foreground render - so essentially, you can stack rendering styles in one viewport.  So you could try shaded (without show edges) for the background and hidden line for the Foreground render.  Of some other combination - just keep in mind that render styles happen to the whole scene, so you wouldn't be able to isolate just the floor and drape with a style.

 

Alternatively, you could add a hatch or pattern to select areas by drawing polygons/polylines in the ANNOTATIONS of the viewport and moving them to the back.

You could try an "Artistic-Lines and Shadows" style to get the curtains:

The floor will still be a trick, but two stacked viewports might get you there.
