Curved Walls in Hidden Line

[martinfdc]

Hi,

 

I'd like to know if this is not possible or if I'm doing something wrong.

 

I've drawn three identical curved walls and placed them one on top of the other. Why do the horizontal lines show up? Shouldn't it be all like one big curved wall?

 

I hope I'm doing something wrong!

It's been a long time however, I'll stir the case up again.

And when you add a straight wall to the curved wall you will have another line you cant get rid of as well.

Yes, even in viewports, where straight walls looks like one wall, round walls don't "join"

A fix for this bug is looong overdue - I'd venture this has been around for as long as Vw has had 3D functionality.

 

The only time hidden line should show a line between two exactly coplanar objects / surfaces is if they are of dissimilar materials.

Maybe the error in this thread might be related to this bug too?

I really hope this issue is fixed in SP3!

This issue is still present in VW 2018...

Please Jim, this is really, really old. It can't be still there.

I have it files as a bug but it may need to go in as an enhancement request, much to my (and I'm sure others') dismay.

[_c_]

It is a bug, unfortunately, but should the resolution be faster if it files as wish, please, let it be a wish! 

 

We collectively wish round walls not to leave lines around. I feel safe to speak for most here.

Out of pure curiosity, who wishes that round walls don't join and show dismembered in viewports, renderings or any form of view -even in plans, under certain conditions- please raise a hand.

has this issue been resolved yet? I still have it in VW 2019

[_c_]

Not resolved and I don't have the feeling that it ever will before me to retire.

I cannot state loudly enough how this issue is annoying. An endless bucketload of inefficiency to get around problems.

Hello, writing from 2020 with the same issue here 🙋‍♀️

[Virginia O]

Is there a workaround other than drawing polygons to cover these lines?

[_c_]

There isn't.

[DanJansenson]

For the curved walls there is a work-around in HLR, though it's inconvenient. Create a very thin external component for the top-most wall, and extend the bottom of it to the bottom of the stack.

Lines in hidden line view and jagged mismatching them in rendering modes:

 

[DanJansenson]

OpenGL with Detail set to Very High?

[Mik]

I should have been more specific: OpenGL will render the curved joins more smoothly in higher resolution, yes, if you want to deal with the performance. But all the other fine rendering modes I have found to leave the jagged lines visible more or less.

[Flair-Studio]

Still having this issue in 2024: drawing a straight wall against a tangent curved wall produces a smooth wall in shaded (Open GL) mode, but when you make a viewport to extract an elevation it hidden line then it shows the vertical joint:

Is there something I am missing? Has any one a workaround for that please, other than painting it out in the annotation space?

We also have an issue showing hidden line textures (cladding lines) on curved walls, where the textures do not show up.
