3D hinge direction markers don't display in hidden line mode

[Magdalena 0]

Hello.

 

How can I make window hinge markers visible in hidden line viewports? I want them to be visible in elevation, but they don't display in any of my viewports.

 

 

I have ticked Show Interior and Exterior Hinge Markers in the object settings. The hinge marker class is also turned on in the viewports. 

 

When I look at my model in 3D wireframe mode the hinge markers are visible but as soon as I switch to hidden line mode they disappear. They disappear both on the interior and the exterior side. Same thing happens with the window preview when I try to edit the window settings. Surely there must be a way to display the hinge markers in elevations (hidden line viewports). 

 

Alternatively, is there any other render mode I can use for my viewports to get a decent line drawing elevation?

 

     

 

      

Thanks

Hello Magdalena,

Can you attach a Vectorworks file with just the window in it?

My initial (wild) guess is that you may have the Sash Depth set to a value less than the Glazing Thickness.

Hello Matt,

 

Your (wild) guess was brilliant. I increased the Sash Depth on all windows and all hinge markers are visible now.

 

Thank you very much.

sometimes I get  lucky. ;-)

 

You're very welcome! I'm glad it worked!

@Matt Panzer take a look at this post which in a way is related to this post. There's a bug that doesn't show hinge markers according to a class in hidden line.

@martinfdc, This appears to be fixed in Vectorworks 2019.

You are right @Matt Panzer, the bug has been fixed.
