Hidden lines in 3-d viewport elevations


Recommended Posts

Heather,

Two key points might help:

1) Be sure to assign distinct classes to the various objects & components you want to control. ie, Cabinet-Base; Cabinet-Doors; Cabinet-Countertop; etc. Classes can be turned on/off in the viewport (VP) settings to control what shows.

2) Don't hesitate to copy/paste-in-place multiple viewports on top of each other. One can have a different render mode or with different class settings.

Generally, these two features woven back and forth allow you to display whatever you need.

Good luck,

I think Michael has the right solution - check to see which hidden line rendering mode you are using. There are two Hidden Line Rendering Modes - Hidden Line and Dashed Hidden Line.

The Dashed Hidden Line rendering mode will draw dashed lines representing the line work of "hidden" object face networks.

The Hidden Line Rendering (plain) will not render with dashed lines and only display the front most object from the viewing angle. It's as if everything has been painted white and rendered.

If you still see dashed lines and you can confirm you are using "Hidden Line", not "Dashed Hidden Line", check to see if you have an actual line object - 2D object - where the dashes are displaying. Hidden line renderings cannot hide 2d line work.
