TomCreation22 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hi there, I'm still getting to grips with VW but currently using VW2011 and having some problems with a 3D shape. I needed to model a curved desk and modelled it using a Polyline (2D since I couldn't figure out how to add curved vertices to a 3D Polyline) and extruded it. Once extruded, the object is showing as transparent in all views. Is it possible to add a solid fill so the object doesn't show as being transparent? I've tried adding a texture but it seems to make no difference, and since the final drawing will be in 'Top/Plan' view there'll be no rendering style anyway. Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment
designer190 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Make sure in the Attributes palette, the solid option is selected. Quote Link to comment
TomCreation22 Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the reply. You mean the fill? It's already set to a solid. Unless you mean something else. Here's a screenshot. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33057988/Screen%20Shot%202011-11-21%20at%2011.11.24.png Edited November 21, 2011 by TomCreation22 Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 The extrude will be transparent except in a rendered view. You have a couple of options: Create a Hybrid object with a 2d polygon representing the top-plan view or use a hybrid object eg. a Floor object to create the desktop Quote Link to comment
