Layers with separate render modes

Recommended Posts

Is there a vwx process for displaying several layers in separate render states? Either a design layer view with several other layers visible, or, a Sheet Layer View Port. Example: deemphasized layers, such as site context, rendered in RW Style Realistic Colors White, while objects on emphasis layer(s) render in full color OGL or FQRW, say a building or a bridge, or only the trees.

 

For a work around, Design Layers or SLVP layer overrides can be assigned to gray, or class SLVP overrides can make certain objects white (but if there are lots of classes . . .). But gray layers lack robust control of color, transparency, edges, and other render effects. Stacked SLVPs have occlusion problems.

 

Disabling the SLVP>Advanced Settings>Render Gray Layers Transparent makes no difference.  The gray layers retain same transparency.

I see the Export PDF pref for setting opacity of gray layers, but I can’t find a display pref. Is there such?

 

Any pointers appreciated.

Or is this wish list material?
