Ed Wachter Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Please see attached image to see unwanted lines that appear on stair stringers in hidden line render. Is there a way to use Hidden Line without getting these lines? Thanks. Happy new year! Ed Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 You could try to play with the cease angle of HL mode. (Increase it) But I fear that may not likely help. a) the real geometry generated by the Stair Tool is often horribly b) with later VW versions I also see often unwanted triangulations in HL mode, at various surfaces e.g. containing holes.

Ed Wachter Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Oh, yes; changing the crease angle did remove the lines. Thank you! I agree that the stair geometry is often unacceptable. I often use the stair tool to model the treads only; then model stringers and railing manually. Ed Ed 1 Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I am a bit surprised, but very happy that it worked for you. Quote Link to comment
Ed Wachter Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 They all disappeared except the one where the stringer joins the landing framing. In this case that's good enough that I won't bother modeling it from scratch. Thanks again. Ed Quote Link to comment
