gvictoria1 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 My VWX 3D model is pre-vising on my screen w very jaggedly edges - although I have the display options set to HIGH - I'm including a photo of my screen - w a sketchup model on the left - and the VWX model on the right - w/ the display settings in the picture too - it's not the monitor since the SKP model is not nearly as jagged as my VWX model - thoughts? thanks 🙂 Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Is this on a Sheet Layer? If so have you increased the resolution of the Sheet Layer from the default 72 DPI? You can edit this in the Organization Dialog box. Quote Link to comment
0 gvictoria1 Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) HI Pat - No not a sheet layer - this is a screen shot of my monitor- - on the left is a window with a sketchup model in it - fairly smooth - not much jagged edges and right next to it is the window w/ my VWX model - settings on high and still getting those jagged edges -it's not a monitor setting - since the sketchup model is fairly smooth on the same monitor - it must be a setting in VWX - very hard to walk through with my bosses - when the model looks so bad - also I've tried turning off and on again - and still jaggedy - thanks Edited May 16, 2022 by gvictoria1 forgot to add I had turned off and on again Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Check your Document Preferences and make sure this is set at least as high as your screen DPI. Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 4 hours ago, gvictoria1 said: vising on my screen w very jaggedly edges You have to set the OpenGL (Since VW 2022 "Shaded") Mode Settings for your drawing view to Max quality. (AFAIK the System or File "3D resolution" is for import/conversion of geometry only ?) But OpenGL, or now Shaded, Mode was always a bit fuzzy with Lines on at a minimum of 1 Pixel size and overall Antialiasing quality pretty low for faster view speed. You can workaround that when rendering in Viewports on Sheet Layers and pushing DPI setting high or even double to make the (fast) OpenGL/Shaded Mode looking more "crisp". Or better use the, more expensive but better quality, Hidden Line Mode on top of the pure OpenGL background rendering as the foreground render mode for your SLVPs. But AFAIK there is also an Option in VW Settings, to switch off Antialiasing for faster view speed globally. Check that AA is on . 1 Quote Link to comment
0 gvictoria1 Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 sigh - my OPENGL options are set to a max I think - including a screen shot w/ options open so you can see anti-aliasing on - detail - high - and still so many jagged edges - just a little embarrassing when I'm showing the bosses - sketchup so much pretty on the screen - hard to convince them to use vectorworks (hire me 🙂 ) in these cases am I missing any settings that I can improve the screen view? ps- like I had said in my first post - using sketchup on the same screen has no jagged edges to speak of - so don't think it's my screen - thanks 1 Quote Link to comment
Question
gvictoria1
My VWX 3D model is pre-vising on my screen w very jaggedly edges - although I have the display options set to HIGH -
I'm including a photo of my screen - w a sketchup model on the left - and the VWX model on the right - w/ the display settings in the picture too -
it's not the monitor since the SKP model is not nearly as jagged as my VWX model -
thoughts?
thanks 🙂
