laldenj Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 http://techboard.nemetschek.net/ubbthreads/images/icons/default/mad.gif mad Am very frustrated that an apparent bug prevents sketch-style hidden line rendering within viewports in VW2008. Currently, we are stuck with no-sketch options(of hidden line) within both foreground and background layers of a viewport image. Am told by tech support that fix may be a month off!

CipesDesign Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Are you sure? Try using a Hidden Line for the foreground THEN in Foreground Render Settings chose: Sketch HL Results. Works for me. Quote Link to comment
laldenj Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Thanks for the suggestion, but that makes no difference for me. I'm in WN XP Pro environment on Dell Workstation so, perhaps, that's the problem but have never had these problems on previous versions. I can get Hidden line to render fine but all attempts to select sketching of results are ignored when in viewport. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the engineers at NNA will provide a fix soon. Quote Link to comment
laldenj Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 In case someone else is agonizing over this issue, a bit of clarification: It appears that the culprit in my model is an imported SketchUp entity. Without the SU component(symbol in VW), the viewport renders perfectly; with it, the entire viewport will only render in simple hidden line---no sketching of the HL is enabled. I have tried various remedies such as converting to mesh and then to 3D polys to try to sterilize the model of the SU toxicity but have only had success with the most simple of SU imports.
