Blurring part of a plan

[Annabel Bridge]

Hi I've got my plan drawn in vwks but I'd like to have only a small section really crystal with the rest blurred.  Does anyone know fi this is possible? Thanks!

I have done this by drawing a polygon over the portion I want to blur. I make the polygon solid, but reduce the opacity to ±35% (adjust to taste). Another way you do it is by using two Viewports, one on top of the other. You can then use Sketch rendering (and also the poly mask, above) for the blurry part, and place the "crispy" portion on top, perhaps even increasing the line weight of the front/clear portion.

Peter always has the best ideas for things like this ;-)

 

Thanks for sharing.

You could also try:

1. Copy the viewport
2. Crop the viewport but leave a good amount of space around it.
3. Cut
4. Paste as Bitmap
5. Move in position
6. Use Image Effects with Blur, soft Edges, lightness, etc.
