mike-h Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Has anyone had issues with sketch rendering in VW2018? I currently (since update) seem to get a wireframe type sketch view rather than a hidden line. I have just drawn a cuboid in a fresh file and that has the same problem - see screenshot showing settings. Have I forgotten something obvious?! Mike Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted October 20, 2017 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 20, 2017 This is 2018 SP1? I am unable to replicate this here. Could you post that test file here with the viewport cache saved? (File > Document Settings > Document Preferences > Save Viewport Cache) Quote Link to comment
mike-h Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Test file attached here - yes SP1. Sketch_render_test.vwx Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted October 20, 2017 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 20, 2017 With your viewport selected, set the background render mode to Hidden Line and then in the line render options, enable the sketching you want, otherwise the object will show as sketched wireframe. Also: The object seemed to have a class fill of None, but I may have corrected that before I messed with the renderworks mode. Quote Link to comment
mike-h Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Thanks Jim - that worked for you did it? I have done as suggested including altering the class of the object, but still have the same problem - see v1 file attached. This issue arose with a more complex file - see screenshot attached, where background is hidden line and foreground is sketch, viewport is up to date but still wireframe-sketch. Lots of different class properties on all the objects, but they all have a fill (if I go to purely hidden line it works fine - as it does on the test file).

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted October 20, 2017 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hidden Line for the background render, nothing for the foreground render. Background Render Settings on the Hidden Line render is where youd want to enable the desired sketch option. However if it still does not work after that, get that file to tech@vectorworks.net and they can take a closer look.. Quote Link to comment
mike-h Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Ahaaa! Am I imagining it or was this all within the sketch setting under previous versions? Just for clarity, for anyone reading in the future, the sketch setting is a subsetting of Hidden Line (check 'sketch hidden line results', whereas (I believe) it used to be under the Sketch settings. If that makes sense! Thanks Jim. Quote Link to comment
