Hidden line

[cubalibre00]

Hi,

I've a plate under some components where I want to show the hidden line in dashed.

Atthaced the example.

Tried with render sets, but nothing.

Use the View dependent edit it seam a complicated workflow.

Did you try switching on 'process hidden lines' and then hidden edges dashed?

And of course, with show exact representation.

Sorry,

but have you understand my question ?

Hi,

Usually Render Sets is the right way to choose. It should work.

I created a short how-to wmv video and attached it.

Hope that also works for you.

Regards,

Johannes

The only advise when you use Render Set functionality is about Performance.

On very complex drawing view the performance of view update can significantly decrese.

I suggest my customers to add some more "standard" view instead of use some "tricks" (render set... breakout view... etc)

This is just my humble opinion.

Hi Johannes,

I know how to use Render Sets.

My question was about the example, a component that is partially hidden.

Hi Beppe,

thank you for the suggestions.

I will do that.

Sorry I didn't get the fact, that you want it "partially" hidden, so I did this video - many users use Render sets incorrectly and then they do not work - wanted to make sure this is not the case. Render sets just exclude the selected geometry from the rest of the hidden line calculation... no matter if it is hidden by another geometry or not.

The only real possible solution to do it in one view is the View dependent edit - and it is quite cumbersome, especially with partial geometries.

Hi Johannes,

Thank you very much for the video. It helped me to solve all my problems regarding transparency of parts in drafting.
