Clipped drawings not showing as black

[Stephen_Reid]

Hi

I am having trouble with Rhino 8 WIP

I have created a drawing from a clipped plane section but it is has inherited it colours from the model and I can’t get it to turn black for printing from paper space.

Previously in Rhino 8 drawings just automatically turned black when they were created.

Any help would be appreciated Claude and Google ai just going round in circles.

Thanks

You have set the clipping drawing to get the properties from the input objects. You can double-click on the clipping drawing to edit it and pick “By output layers” from the options for that setting:

Hi Wim thanks for your reply, I am half way there. It now will not show the section boundary line as B&W. I imagine this is a boundary line color button or something like that? Also it is not showing lineweights in Print display?

Yes, the section properties are defined in the section style. You have defined the “GS 1” style as follows:

The two boundary color pull-downs let you set that color for display and print.

Running UpdateClippingDrawings on the drawing block made that go away here.
