Andrew Davies Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Morning all I have 4 flown projection screens for an event in the round. For my visuals, I need the rears to be blanked out (they currently show the screen image in reverse) Any one know of a clever way of blanking out the rear? Or do I need to manually draw a solid behind to hide it? Thanks, Andrew Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 If you add a FRAME and set it to 0 values then it should give you a blanked out rear. Hope that works for you. 1 Quote Link to comment

C. Andrew Dunning Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Andrew - To have the tool black out the rear of the screen, your "Screen Type" has to be "Front Projector" and your "Frame" has to be either "Frame" or "Border Only." Regards - 1 Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Have you noticed z-fighting with the back of the screens? The polygon's aren't co-planar but @ 1:500 recently I had to resort to a frame rather than a border to avoid it. Also, when editing a otherwise curved display in the OIP the top & bottom frames show the arcs full fill (all the way to the center point of the arc). The only way I found to fix the issue was cut/paste in place. I'll take a screenshot next time these happen. Quote Link to comment

Andrew Davies Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Haven't seen that myself yet. That's a shame. Does it render out that way? Quote Link to comment
