Flattened Design Layer Section VP-Saved Render VP Cache Setting

[Diamond]

Hi Jim,

This is a follow over from this post.

https://techboard.vectorworks.net/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=200550Post200550

I couldn't see a wish list item for this, and so here it is.

For section Viewports, not having a saved viewport cache makes the flattened VP setting almost useless. When it was announced, I thought it would solve so many issues. Especially for those that are not 3D literate?to be able to trace over a pre-setup flattened VP sounded great. Ideally it would be used as an outline trace tool for details and sections. But without the option to have a rendered hidden line version and is able to be saved in a consistent render state, it doesn't solve the issue it should have addressed.

Is there a way that if the flattened section VP tick box is selected, and if Saved VP Cache is selected in the Document Prefs, then the section automatically is saved as a hidden line render, separate from the render setting for that layer?

Thanks.

Yes, we need rendered section viewports on design layers. This is on the wish list since 2009.

Its definitely on the list, I will add this thread to it.

(From what I understand, this would be immensely more complex to implement than it appears to an end user, both from a technological and organizational standpoint.)
