zeno Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Hello, there is a rendered viewport with some elements. How can I delete the bridle lines? Planar project Is set to OFF Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 don't the bridle lines, by default, have their own class? Turn that off in the Viewport. Quote Link to comment

Yes, but the lines are controlled by the main class. If you set it to invisible, you can't see the 3d geometry. If you turn off the geometry, you see only the main class with lines.

Kevin Allen Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Perhaps they need their own class? Quote Link to comment

Kevin Allen Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 yes. On. the design layer, I would create anew class. In the class creation dialog I would choose which viewports in which you want the class visible. You can also turn the class on and off in the OIP with Viewport selected when viewing the sheet layer. I would use the Magic Wand tool to elect all of the bridle lines. Alternately, shift select the individual items. Then in the OIP, assign the class. I am forgetting if there is a dialog that lets you automatically adding classes to the rigging objects. Quote Link to comment
zeno Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Yes, i know the process. But lines are connected to the main class object. If you turn off the main class, 3d geometry and lines are turned off -even if classe are visibile-. You can turn off the 3d geometry but you can’t turn off the lines. So in this way i need to hide the entire object but i need to hide only lines.. that’s my issue.. Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Don't the lines represent cables? Can you take one piece of truss and rigging, put in a document and post? Quote Link to comment

Can you take one piece of truss and rigging, put in a document and post? Here is it The main class is Bridle Main. Then are also: Rigging-Bridle-Connection= connections Rigging-Bridle-Geometry= what I need in gray Rigging-Bridle-Label= label if exist You can hide the last 3. If you hide the first one the entire object disappear. If you set the first class to show, you alway see lines, even if the planar object on viewport is set to off Bridle lines.vwx Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 In this file, I don't see the bridle lines, I do see 3D loci for the motors and the truss Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted February 15, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 15, 2021 Hi Zeno The bridle tool classing and visibility can be a bit confusing, as the bridle object classes are used slightly differently from the Vectorworks norm. Bridle-Main is the complete object and not only included the bridle object sub classes but also the any of the classes connected to the bridle parts (the physical rigging materials needed to create the bridle) The three classes that are in the Bridle classes dialogue, control the automatically generated parts of the bridle object Bridle legs- is the default geometry created by the bridle object when not using 3D parts. This is where the Bridle object classing functionality differs from the VW norm. The class visibility behavior is defined by whether you are using the 'Simple 3D Parts' setting in the bridle object properties and what view mode you are in (2D top plan/3D) Simple 3D parts is on (the default) in 2D top plan view the class controls the bridle legs visibility as normal in 3D views the leg geometry is effectively split into 2 classes the 'thicker' colored line display of the legs is controlled by the Bridle legs class, and the thinner black and white by the Bridle main class (or what ever the user defines for this) Simple 3D parts is off 2D as above 3D visibility is controlled by the individual classing of the bridle parts (see below) used to make the leg and as before the complete object by the Bridle main class Bridle leg labels- this controls the leg labels in 2D top plan view mode Connection Marker- controls the connection markers in both 2D and 3D views Currently the bridle parts classing is defined by the symbols in the Stock Bridle material library file shackle symbols use the Rigging-Accessories Shackles class STAC chains, choke chain/chain shorten symbols use the Chain short class Steels use the Steel cable class Email me if you want me to go through this in more detail Quote Link to comment
