JMR Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Hi all, If I try to make a 3D section viewport from a Clip Cube, the viewport on a sheet layer works fine until I try to set it to "hidden line" or "sketch" - then the clipped part always comes visible again. Anyone else seeing this? 2019 VW Designer Sp2. Edited February 6, 2019 by JMR Quote Link to comment
David S Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 @JMR Hello. I dont show clipped graphics in sketch or hidden line, but from recall i think these graphic modes are programmed to show the entire model. I have just repeated your operation and yes it is not showing the clip in sketch and hidden line. It will show the clip in Open GL. Is that correct @JimWModeratorTest Quote Link to comment
JMR Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Thanks David. Anyone from VW staff, is this working as intended? Could sketch/hidden line functionality be reasonably implemented to clip cube? Quote Link to comment
Joe Marshall Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) We are having issues with this as well...it's unfortunate you cant render clip cube drawings in hidden line for our working sets. @Jim Wilson is this how it's supposed to operate ... or a bug that should be logged? In the meantime we worked around this issue by: using open GL in the Open GL settings uncheck "Use Textures" uncheck "Use Colors" check "Draw Edges" Thickness (pixels): "1" Bump the ambient light up to max to remove shade and shadows change the clip cube cut to black or grey Edited February 25, 2019 by Joe Marshall Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted February 25, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 25, 2019 This is just a limitation at the moment, it is planned to let Clip Cube work in more places and in more render modes. 4 Quote Link to comment
blimey Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hi everyone, Is there any update on the progress for being able to show clipcube in hidden line mode? It would be really usefull ! 2 Quote Link to comment
Star14 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hello, I agree with Blimey. There is any progress with the clipcube please? Quote Link to comment
isyme Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I am guessing that this is still an issue in 2020? Quote Link to comment
thinkingpencil Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 @isyme In my horizontal section viewport 2D objects can be rendered sketch by checking "sketch hidden line results" in "foreground render settings". 3D objects cannot. Which seems logical... Quote Link to comment
line-weight Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I can confirm that hidden line and sketch still don't work for clip cube sections in VW2021. Also, VW's annoying habit of presenting a void area in the section plane where two solid objects overlap continues. So you have to go around fixing all instances of this if you want it to look right.

Bill_Rios Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Bump. Seems this is still not a feature in VW 2023 SP4. Does anyone know if it was resolved in SP5? Been hesitant to move over to SP5 because of some issues on the Window's side with Spotlight. Quote Link to comment
