2D drawing line issue

General Questions
1

Hey everyone I started having a weird issue when trying to make drawings that I never had before and i am not sure how to fix it. went through the drawing tutorial and did not find a solution.

My problem is the drawing is creating all the hidden lines of my geometry making it look like a mess.

as you can see you can barely make out the robots because it is just a bunch of lines on top of each other.

anyone that has had this issue or knows how to fix this please help.

Thanks

Hi @CarlosPlazas,

I haven’t seen this problem before.
Please contact support@visualcomponents.com if you have activate maintenance subscription. Finding a solution is always faster if you also include an example file.

Thank you

Hey Nico

Sorry to report I never did figure out what the problem was. Luckily I haven’t had the issue for a while in my new layouts.

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi, I had the same issue and further investigation shoved that the models were too heavy. There seems to be a maximum limit of triangles/points the VC can compute and if you have settings tab generation quality turned to anything else than the best quality it will just cut off the calculation and show you wireframe style picture. To overcome this problem the best solution is to make your models lightweight. Use convex hull, reduce hole counts and import the models with less details. Remember to show only what is needed with the models.

Hello all, I encountered a similar issue in both “flavours”:

  • In one case each triangle of the model were separated! So I merged all adjacent vertices in 3dsmax and voilĂ !
  • In another situation, it may be due to an omission in CAD software: missing smoothing groups either during modeling, or in the export parameters. (this one is assumed but not verified)

I have a temporary work around that you can use, that I have been doing for all my layouts.
rather than just selecting top view, use the select then generate a series of smaller sections.

make sure that the layout is zoomed to show extents, so all the selected projections line up correctly
