I would like a new Render Option that when implimented
presents similar to Hidden Line except that only the front-most lines are visible. That is to say, only the lines that you can see, NOT ALL OF THE HIDDEN LINES!which can amount to hundreds.
I want to have my elevation showing, rendered in Front Lines (call it whatever) and then I would be looking at a drawing that is similar to the Hidden Line View, except that it DOESN'T CONTAIN ALL OF THE HIDDEN LINES.
Then I can, for example, Convert to Lines and I will be left with only the front most lines...NOT ALL OF THE HIDDEN LINES BEHIND.
Perhaps this could be a Hidden Line Option but I wouldn't want to confuse the issue because I DON'T WANT ANY OF THE HIDDEN LINES!
Perhaps it is best presented in the Convert to Lines Dialog where, in addition to converting to Hidden Line, there could be the option to convert to Front Lines only because the user DOESN'T WANT HIDDEN LINES.
Capiche? Got that long-standing gripe out of my system.
Actually, I am old school. Hidden lines were always dashed from the git-go...not optional. It would never be a Hidden Line drawing without the dashed hidden lines so it's a misnomer right from the start to have the dashed as an option for Hidden Line. If one doesn't want the dashed hidden lines, then it's a different drawing.
If anyone has a VectorWorksaround, I'd love to hear it!
