Scott@ZSTa Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Trying to open a file created in 2015 in 2016, I get hidden lines showing through on the model view 2016 version. Any ideas? (Sorry - can't see how to attach images on this post!) Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Adding images takes a few steps. Here is the basic: •In your post, switch to Full Reply Screen. •locate and click the File Manager link - blue text in lower left. •In the dialog, press Add File, browse to desired image or file, click OK (Open?) •Wait for it to load/populate in the file list near top of the dialog •Click Add File again to add another file •Or click Done Adding Files •Press the Submit button to display your post in the Forum. Unwanted hidden lines? Some guesses: •If in Design Layer, check for proper render mode? If OpenGL, is the option for Show Lines enabled? •If this is in a Design Layer, make sure proper layers and classes are set to visible. You might have a visible layer with linework. •If Sheet Layer, check for proper class and layer visibility, and note whether Background Render and/or Foreground Render has a render mode with hidden lines. •If Sheet Layer, toggle the Project Planar Objects option.

Scott@ZSTa Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 OK I've managed to upload the image files. The model is being viewed in a viewport on a sheet layer. I'm having an additional problem in that I can't now 'update' the view - when I try VW2016 crashes! I can update when I turn off view planar objects (this removes the previously noted hidden lines showing through also), but I need to show the planar objects in my model... Having to go back to using 2015. Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 1st impression is that the v2016 has a dashed hidden line foreground render or an unintended layer/class visible. Make a copy of the v2016 file, delete some things, eg all the windows or the roof or something major and try the renders again. Might point to a place to change something. Crashes might mean corrupt object. Often a symbol. If it's not proprietary can you post the file? or a Dropbox link to an abbreviated version of the file? Or send it to tech? -B Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 JimW - it seems that your post requesting Oculus Rift feedback might have been mistakenly posted in this thread. Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted January 7, 2016 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 7, 2016 For the actual issue in this thread, I also think it might be a dashed hidden line setting that was altered during conversion. Does the same thing appear if you create a new viewport from scratch on a new sheet layer? Is this only in the viewport you see the lines, or do the show up on the design layer as well in Hidden Line? Quote Link to comment
